Color change for prompt adornments

[Bill McDo]

Is there a way to change the color of the prompt adornments?
The current (default) color didn't pass our 508 compliance testing.

some of those adornments are just gifs stored on the web server.
Not sure what the server path would be, but in our installation the web path is:
....../prompting/reportskin/prompting/images/

The red dashes I am not so sure about - I think they might be CSS.

Hi Bill,

calson33 is right. In the installation path (webcontent\prompting\reportskin\prompting\images) you should have a look at the following GIFs:

• error_timed_on.gif
• error_timed_small.gif
• error_timed_small_off.gif
• error_timed_small_rtl.gif
• icon_required.gif

Those seem to be the images you're looking for. You could make a backup of them, and change their appearance so they can pass your 508 compliance testing.

Regards,

Hunter

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Do keep in mind that making server-side changes like this is global to all users, which may be exactly what you want of course. Also remember you will likely have to redo the server-side changes you make every time you update Cognos.

I am not being critical or saying not to do it, just throwing these out in case you are not aware of them.
