The scope of this document is to provide information and detailed step-by-step instructions in order to allowsite administrators to customize a TIBCO Nimbus SharePoint site. For information and instructions oninstalling and upgrading a TIBCO Nimbus SharePoint integration please consult the Administration Guide thatis shipped with the installation CD.

Chapter 2 Introduction6


Introduction

Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services provides a powerful toolset for organizing information, managingdocuments, and providing effective collaboration environments, all within a single Web-based environmentthat integrates easily with desktop applications such as Microsoft Office. TIBCO Nimbus has developed asolution that integrates TIBCO Nimbus Web Server functionality into a SharePoint site, thereby providingusers with access to all of the TIBCO Nimbus Web Server functionality through a SharePoint environment.

The same access rights apply in the SharePoint interface as they do with the standard Web Server. Theserights are defined on a user and user group basis in the Author Client.

A SharePoint site can be customized in many different ways. The table below lists a summary of what'scovered in this guide. Note: With respect to the Source of Change, SharePoint refers to changes madethrough the SharePoint interface and Classic Web Server refers to changes made to the normal Web Serverinstallation.

Colors. Color schemes set the color of body text, headings, hyperlinks, banner text, link bar labels, tableborders, and the page background. Choose between a normal or vivid color set.

Graphics. Images add interest to your page elements and are typically used for background pictures, pagebanners, bullets, navigation buttons, and horizontal lines. Choose between the normal or active graphicset. The active graphic set uses animated page elements, such as hover buttons for your navigation bar.

Styles. Styles are used to keep your headings and text consistent in font type, size, and color. Each themeuses a style that best suits the color and graphics in the page; however, a theme can be modified to suityour preference.

Themes enable you to manage the appearance of pages in one convenient place. When a theme is chosen asthe default appearance for a SharePoint site, that theme applies to all new and existing pages.

Themes

Apply a theme

A theme is a unified set of design elements and color schemes that give the pages an attractive, consistentappearance. A theme affects all aspects of the page's appearance, including the following:

Colors. Color schemes set the color of body text, headings, hyperlinks, banner text, link bar labels, tableborders, and the page background. Choose between a normal or vivid color set.

Graphics. Images add interest to your page elements and are typically used for background pictures, pagebanners, bullets, navigation buttons, and horizontal lines. Choose between the normal or active graphicset. The active graphic set uses animated page elements, such as hover buttons for your navigation bar.

Styles. Styles are used to keep your headings and text consistent in font type, size, and color. Each themeuses a style that best suits the color and graphics in the page; however, a theme can be modified to suityour preference.

Themes enable you to manage the appearance of pages in one convenient place. When a theme is chosen asthe default appearance for a SharePoint site, that theme applies to all new and existing pages. If the defaulttheme is changed or removed, the changes are automatically applied to the entire site. You can also applythemes to individual pages.
