Theme designer

Other administrative forms > Theme designer

This system form is useful to style the elements of your application, such as headers, buttons, toolbars, fields and much more, including customizing your menu with your company’s logotype.

Try the settings under the Menu area, Main area, and Font and verify that every looks as expected in the Preview section. When you are ready, enter a Theme name under the Misc section and click on Save as to confirm.

For later changes to your previous created theme, click on Save.

Use to display an image at the bottom of the application menu. The URL can be from:

  • Your own website, like https://www.istools.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/New-Project-55.png

  • Your IS Tools application, i.e., an image stored in a File field of some record.

    Syntax

    https://{server}/istools/apps/{appId}/tables/{tableId}/records/{recordId}/fielddata/{fieldId}

    Example

    https://swe02.istools.com/istools/apps/1801/tables/1/records/100551/fielddata/100500

    There are two ways to obtain this link:

    1. Use the syntax above, and look for the requested parameters as follows.

      • The server and appId can be seen in the URL of any opened application form.

      • The tableId and fieldId can be seen in Tables and Fields, respectively, in the Data model editor.

      • The recordId can be obtained via IQL in Forms (e.g., with set @var = recordId on Run on select, or with set :caption = RecordId on Behavior of a Label in a section).

    2. Temporarily place a Media component associated with the File field in question in any form you like. Open the form, right-click on the Media, and click "Copy link address". Paste this link exactly as is.

Note that all themes you create will be available for users in the User settings form.
