Introduction to the UI Theme Designer

Learning Objective Understanding the UI Theme Designer to Time 130 Min.


create a custom theme.
Scenario You will learn how to design a custom theme with the
UI Theme Designer.

What is the UI Theme Designer?


The UI Theme Designer is a browser-based tool for cross theming scenarios.
Its build on the principle WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).
Apply your corporate branding and look to applications built with SAP UI
technologies. You can for example change the color scheme, add background images
and add your company logo.

Key features and benefits:


 Browser-based, graphical WYSIWYG editor:
Change the values of theming parameters and immediately see how it affects
the visualization of the selected preview page.
 Build-in preview pages:
Select built-in preview pages to see what your custom theme will look like
when it is applied to an application:
o Application previews (for example, Purchase Order Approval, SAP
Fiori launchpad)
o Control previews
 Different levels of theming:
o Quick theming (basic cross-technology theme settings)
o Expert theming (technology-specific theme settings)
o Manual LESS or CSS editing
 Color palette for reuse:
Specify a set of parameters with the main color values defining your corporate
branding
 Cross-technology theming:
Create one consistent theme that applies to various SAP UI clients and
technologies:
o SAPUI5 standard libraries (including SAP Fiori applications and SAP
Fiori launchpad)
o Unified Rendering technologies (such as Web Dynpro ABAP and
Floorplan Manager)
o SAP NetWeaver Business Client

For who is the UI Theme Designer?


The tool is for developers, visual designers and administrators. It offers support for
different skill levels: from simple parameters to expert theming and CSS editor.

What is a theme?

© SAP UCC Magdeburg Page 2


Case Study

A theme defines the visual appearance of an application, including font size and type,
colors of UI controls and background images. It can be applied to an application to
suit the purpose, topic, or tastes of different users.
A custom theme is a new theme adapted from an SAP standard theme that includes
changes desired by a customer. A custom theme is typically created using the UI
theme designer to change theme parameter values, images, and other resources. The
UI theme designer generates the CSS for the custom theme which can then be
deployed to the target server along with any uploaded images or other resources. The
degree of support for the custom theme depends on the features used. Themes may
support one or more UI technologies.

Technical Information
The following graphic shows the SAP Fiori Launchpad architecture with the UI
Theme Designer.

Use of different Tools


In this case study you will work with three different kind of tools. The SAP GUI, the
UI Theme Designer and the Fiori Launchpad. To not confuse you there is a color code
to mark which tool you need to use for the next steps.
The color coding is as follows:

parameters for editing.
Both cross UI technology parameters and UI technlology specific parametrs are
supported.
There are dependencies between the parameters, i.e. the value of a parameter may be
derived from the value of other parameters. So when you change the value of a
parameter, this might change the value of other parameters as well.
Changing the value of an expert theming parameter only affects a specific control or
groups of controls.

Step 6: Saving colors for later use

Task Save color parameters with the Palette and CSS Theming. Time 10 Min.
Short Description In this step you will learn how to save color
parameters for later reuse with the Palette and CSS Theming.

To ensure consistency in your branding you want to save color parameters. There are
two way to save colors for later reuse. Either by using the color picker in the Palette.
Or if you know the hexadecimal of the color you can use CSS Theming.

Palette
Use the Palette to define a set of colors for reuse. Define frequently used colors to
ensure consistency. For example you can add the color palette of your organization.

In the Right Pane click on to open the Palette.

Add a new color by clicking into the color box. You can either define the color by
entering the hexadecimal or the red green blue values. You can as well just use the
color picker to select it visually.

Change the hexadecimal to #ff6868.

Before you can add a parameter to the palette you have to give the color an ID. Click
into the first empty text box and give them the name reddish. Be aware that you can’t
change the name later.

Click on add to add the color to the Palette.

You have now added your first color to the palette. You can reuse these colors by
referring to them by the ids (names).

CSS Theming
The CSS Theming allows for further customization of the theming that Quick or
Expert Theming do not provide.
You can use CSS or LESS.

Note LESS stands for Leaner CSS and is a style sheet language designed to making
CSS writing more efficient.
The main objectives are to enable intelligent controls and to avoid code repetitions.

Step 9: Adding background images II

Task Add an image as background for your theme. Time 10 Min.


Short Description In this step you will learn how to replace the
simple background color of the Fiori Launchpad with a
background image.

In the UI Theme Designer open your theme with the editor.

You want to add your Launchpad as Target. Click on to add a new Target.

Note If you add an application the application needs to be running on the same
domain as the UI Theme Designer.
This means if your link for the UI Theme Designer is as follows:
https://<host>.<domain>:<port>/sap/theming/theme-designer?sap-client=100
Then the applications (e.g. Launchpad) needs to be on a link like this:
https://<host>.<domain>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/Fiorilaunchpa
d.html

Add the Link to your Launchpad


http://r60z.ucc.ovgu.de/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html
under Link to Application.

For Name of Application write Launchpad-###. Click on .

You now see that the background is back to being a pale blue. This is not an error.

In the last step we only changed the background image of the applications. The
background of the Fiori Launchpad is still the same as before.

Case Study

Note The in the previous step commited changes (e.g. Logo) have already been
adapted. This is because the parameter set is independet of the application you
selected for the preview.

You might have noted that in the preview pane there appeared an additional icon in
the top bar.

Here you can change the preview screen between desktop, tablet and phone to see
your theme on different devices. Change the device to tablet.
