Creating Themes for Adenium Systems Document Fulfillment System©

Why?

One would create themes for DFS for a couple of reasons.

1.A customer is requesting special Graphics, logos, text, anything out of the ordinary.

2.For testing purposes. Every theme in DFS is separate from the other themes. This will allow you to keep an untouched copy, typically “dfstheme”. We do not run any portals out of “dfstheme”, instead we run most of them out of “DFS”, with a few customer that have their own theme, and I have my development theme, with its own fake company for development and testing.

How

First you copy all of the files from /dfstheme to a new folder named whatever you want the new theme to be called. Then you go into “Internet Services Manager”, expand the Default Web site if that is where the theme is stored. Right click on the folder and go to “Properties”. In the “Application Name” area of that window click the “Create” button to create an application. Then click on the “ASP.NET” tab. Make sure that the “ASP.NET version” is set to a least 2.0.50727.
