Maximo 7.5 modifying tivoli09 skin

From: Brian Swanson (2012-01-10 08:10)

As we are talking about the tivoli09 skin, does anyone know how our where
in the maximo.css you could actually move the dropdown menus at the top. I
would like to center the menus, like GoTo, StartCenter, Reports ect.. In
7.5 you are required to do allot of scrolling to get to these menus
depending on what screen you are. This wasn't the case in 6.2

We had the same issue. The maximo.css at the path \maximo\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\skins\tivoli09\css\maximo.css is the file you need to modify. We chose to just set the table that the menu controls sit in to a max of 1200px wide. That way no matter how much the application scrolls, the menu stays on the left of the screen. That style is .bgnb at line 378. Unfortunately the html structure is nested tables so it is difficult to do any real changes. What really needs to happen is that the header area needs to be out of the nested structure and set to be at screen width and in my opinion, static, so that it doesn't scroll off the screen vertically either.
By the way, even though Maximo is not certified for and doesn't always work well in Google Chrome, you can right click on an area in the app and pull up the element inspector and play with the css right in the window live before you go make any permanent changes.

Good idea with Chrome, Ron!
But Chrome displays Maximo screens differently from IE 8. It is more compact!
Is it the same for you?
One of my other findings:
.tc - controls height of rows in list
/* tablecell */
.tc
{
padding:0px;
padding-left:1px;
border-right:1px solid #dedede;
height:26px;
}

BTW you can modify maximo.css files in installedApps folder in WebSphere, refresh page in IE to see changes.
File's location:
...IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ctgAppSrv01\installedApps\ctgCell01\MAXIMO.ear\maximouiweb.war\webclient\skins\tivoli09\css

Another finding:
.h_l, .h_r, .hbsh, .hbouter - controls height of the headers.
Note: you have to change all of them to get an effect.
/* headerbar */
/* header_left */
.h_l
{
background-image:url(../images/table_toolbar_lcap.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
padding-left:5px;
height:30px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
}
/* header_right */
.h_r
{
background-image:url(../images/table_toolbar_rcap.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: top right;
padding-right:5px;
height:30px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
}
.hbsh
{
height:30px;
}
.hbouter
{
height:30px;
}

.sectionb padding controls how much empty space will be in top and bottom of a section with header
Change padding to 0px and see how compact Job Details section in WO application!
.sectionb
{
padding:8px;
border:1px solid #aaaaaa;
border-top:0px;
padding-left:4px;
padding-right:4px;
vertical-align: top;
}
.sbt and .sbb - control space of main section on a page
Change font-size to 0px ;)
/* sectionbordertop */
.sbt
{
font-size: 8px;
}
/* sectionborderbottom */
.sbb
{
font-size: 8px;
}

Puzzle is solved with some help from IBM :)
Space between controls is controlled in children.jsp in ...\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\components folder
Realtime location: ...MAXIMO.ear\maximouiweb.war\webclient\components
Code:
if(control.getType().equals("section"))// || control.getType().equals("sectioncol"))
{
if(!skin.equals("tivoli09") || "".equals(cellspacing) || "0".equals(cellspacing))
{
cellspacing="3";
}
if(UAGENT.equals("OPERA") || UAGENT.equals("FIREFOX") || UAGENT.equals("SAFARI"))
{
cellspacing="3";
borderSpacing="border-spacing:"+cellspacing+";border-collapse:separate;";
}
}
Change cellspacing to 0

Hello potanin,
We are upgrading from maximo 7.1.1.8 to 7.5.0.3.
We have install Maximo with Base Language English & Secondary Language as Arabic.
Related to your answer space between controls and sections/rows we modified children.jsp
as you wrote but nothing change.we use IE for browsing.
Also in our secondary language mode i.e. in Arabic focus is not proper it should be from
right to left but when we query & go to Main Tab in an application
we see horizontal & vertical toolbars.how we can avoid this problem.
In english mode alignment is from left to right.
regards

Hello potanin,
Also i would like to inform you that when we change skin from tivoli09 to classic in our secondary language mode Arabic Tab groups i.e List,Main gets shifted towards extreme left and list tab rows get display from left to right.
But in english mode work fine.
