Amusing note: the first link is for 10.2.1.1 but the URL itself still references version 8. ;D

It's a shame you are not on 10.2.1 or else you could use Theme Designer to do this easily.

Hi MF,
I am able to download make the designer work.
Just a question, how can I enforce/publish a theme for all cognos users.
Because after I created a skin, the only way to make it work with other users is to manually select the styles per user.

Hi MFGF,
i have followed the steps to install cognos theme designer and copied the vers and webcontent file to the install location overwriting the existing files. when i test it on the url i am getting an error as attached in the file below. i also made the required changes in the IIS as mentioned in the document.
Request you to guide me to rectify this.
Regards
hi,
i also tried changing the web browser and got the attached error. please find the attached file for the same.

The 404 error might be this:

Did you follow the instructions and add the extra mime type required in IIS?
Cheers!
MF.
Hi MFGF,
I added the .json as the MIME type in the IIS already.
Just a question...is it anything to do with the handler mapping?
I m using isapi mapping.
Regards
It doesn't work with isapi - you need to use cgi.
Cheers!
MF.
Can we use the designer for customizing the flash screen and the login page?

Hi MFGF,
i am able to access the theme designer using ISAPI. what we need to do is specify the ISAPI gateway url in the web browser after the theme designer url...

Thanks a lot for guiding me and making me aware of a new thing.
