22.1 Customizing the Application Window and Application Explorer Views

You can customize the appearance of the Application Window and Application Explorer views by replacing the following graphics elements:

Each graphics file must have a specific name and must be placed in the c:\program files\novell\zenworks\graphics directory.

  1. Create the new graphics elements you want, using the information in the following table.

    Element

    File Name

    Startup screen

    splash.bmp

    Desktop icon - connected mode

    desktop.ico

    Desktop icon - disconnected mode

    offlinedesktop.ico

    System tray icon - idle

    systray.ico

    System tray icon - disconnected mode

    offlinesystray.ico

    Distribution and caching process

    progress.avi

    Uninstall process

    uninstall.avi

    Novell banner

    minibanner.bmp

    System tray icons - refresh animation

    refresh1.bmp - refresh12.bmp

  2. Create a \graphics directory under the c:\program files\novell\zenworks directory on each user's workstation (for example, c:\program files\novell\zenworks\graphics).

  3. Copy the new graphics files to the \graphics directory.

HINT:To avoid manually creating the directory and copying the files to each user's workstation, create a simple Application object that creates the \graphics directory and copies the files to it. Then associate the Application object with each user (or workstation) and mark it as Force run.
