The SAS Theme Designer 2.5 for Flex
is a small utility application that enables you to easily customize
the appearance of SAS Web applications that are displayed with the
Adobe Flash player. The SAS Theme Designer 2.5 for Flex
is, itself, a Flex Web application. You use the SAS Theme Designer 2.5 for Flex
to create and deploy simple, visually appealing, customized themes.
A theme defines the overall look and feel
of an application. It is designed using colors and graphics that are
applied to common user interface components and layout containers.
A well-designed theme can create a strong visual identity across a
product or set of products. SAS recognizes that you might not want
to view your SAS applications in the default corporate theme. You
might instead want to apply your own branding and customizations,
to help the SAS applications fit in with the rest of your software
environment. SAS also recognizes that users at your site often use
more than one SAS application in their daily work. Having a consistent
look and feel ensures that the user’s transition from one application
to the next is as seamless as possible.
The SAS Theme Designer 2.5 for Flex
affects only those applications that use version 2.5 (or later) of
SAS Application Themes for Flex. The work that you do in the SAS Theme Designer 2.5 for Flex
has no effect on the following types of applications:
-
Web applications that are not Flex
applications (for example, SAS Web Report Studio 4.3)
-
earlier Flex applications from
SAS (for example, SAS BI Dashboard 4.3)
Note: See the
SAS Intelligence
Platform: Web Application Administration Guide for information
about themes for other types of applications.
