Configure the Stages Server

Local Style Customization

The appearance of the Stages GUI can be customized via CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) statements. Add your local style definitions therefore to the file <font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/custom.css</font>.

The style names used by Stages can be found in the file<font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/standard.css</font>. This file can be used as a template for the customization of the local Stages style.

Similar to the above structure, the CSS files <font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/notifystyle.css</font> and <font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/ notifystandard.css</font> contain the CSS definitions for the e-mail notification service via HTML E-Mails. Add your own definitions to the <font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/notifystyle.css</font> file and use the <font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><PKITHOME>/notifystandard.css</font> as a template.

The icons and headlines shown in the Stages header can also be changed. This customization happens via modification of the local property files

  • <PKITHOME>/WEB-INF/classes/LocalPKit.properties and accordingly
  • <PKITHOME>/WEB-INF/classes/LocalPKit_de.properties

Both, the left and the right header side can be configured to show either an icon or a headline text. To

  • configure a headline to the left, use the following properties in a local property file:
  • logo.left.mode = text
  • logo.left.text.message = <Your Headline>
  • logo.left.text.style = heading

To configure a logo to the right, use the following properties in a local property file:

  • logo.right.mode = image
  • logo.right.src = /local/img/<Your logo file>
  • logo.right.width = <Logo image width in pixel>
  • logo.right.height = <Logo image height in pixel>
  • logo.right.altkey = logo.right.text.message
  • logo.right.link = http:<Your HTTP link>/ * logo.right.text.message = <Your message to be shown as tip> The logo image file (GIF, PNG or JPG format) should be stored in a <PKITHOME>/local/img folder. The folder needs to be created if it does not exist yet. All files within the <PKITHOME>/local folder will be preserved across Stages updates.
