SYMPTOM:
By default, when a user mouseovers a grid cell on a document running in Express Mode, the highlight color is light blue as shown below:
However, a user may want to modify this color to another color of their choice as shown below:
This can be achieved using the Strategy Web Customization editor.
ACTION:
Follow these steps to change the mouseover highlight color for a grid cell in Express Mode:
1. Create a new plugin in the Web Customization Editor (WCE).
2. Go to web directory > javascript > mojo > css > oivm.css and make a copy for that file in the same folder. Call it oivm2.css.
3. Open the copied file for editing. The section of interest here is under ".h1:hover" as shown below:
4. To change the highlight color, one may either modify the image value for “background-image” or remove this property and modify the value for “background-color”.
5. Go to web directory > jsp > OIVM_Header.jsp and make a copy for that file in the same folder. Call it OIVM_Header2.jsp.
6. Open the copied file for editing. Change the reference to oivm.css to oivm2.css.
7. Go to web directory > WEB-INF > xml > pageConfig.xml and make a copy for that file. Place the copy into the plugin from step 1 in the same path structure (i.e. plugin_name/WEB-INF/xml).
8. Open the copied file for editing. Find the reference to OIVM_Header.jsp and change it to OIVM_Header2.jsp.
9. Restart the web server.
Please be aware that this customization may not hold after an upgrade if the structure of oivm.css changes.
