Regarding modifying .css files

[dipstm]

Hi,
I have a client  ALUI portal and Cognos 8.3 is integrated with the same.
The client has its own .css file which the portal uses. Now they want the same .css to be used
by Cognos so that the look and feel of the Cognos pages is same as that of the portal pages.
I don't think tht simply replacing the default.css with the client .css would give me the desired results.
Can anyone plz suggest me the step by step procedure for the same.
Any sort of help wld be appreciated.

Thanx,
Dipstm

Cognos do some proven practice documents that you can get from their support site that cover all of these areas and actually provides some examples on how to do it.

Off the top of my head I can only think of one document, search the knowledge base for the following document title:

Customizing the Cognos 8 UI

I think its about a 50 page document so should help.

Let me know how you get on as it looks as though I will be doing something similar in the not to distant future.

Anyone else redesigned the front end appearance of C8 and able to show images of what they have achieved, would be nice to see :o.
