InfoPath Dev

Hello,

does anyone know if it´s possible to edit or even add particular color schemes?
I would like to add a color scheme referring to our 'Corporate Identity'. Actually I have to do this all by myself for every table and control and so on...and this is really time-consuming... ;-))

Regards,

You cannot create a new one. But you can modify an existing one by extracting your form files and editing the XSL for each view. Then just don't touch the color schemes again after that or you'll lose your changes.

Greg,

I would like to do this but do not understand what you are saying...How would I get to the color schemes within the InfoPath program??

Hi

You can right-click on the template and extract the XSL style sheets of each view.  Go into an editor and change the colors for each view.  If I were in your shoes I would probably create a new blank form, save it with no development or other views and then extract that one blank view.  Then modify the one XSL style sheet and use that as your template for all other forms.

I hope this helps

 

Yes, the colors are stored in the .xsl files that represent your views. Making a backup is critical before making manual changes to your form template. Or, as Adam said, use a completely separate form to make your changes and then copy them over to your template (but still make the backup first!).
