What Is the SAS Theme Designer 4.1 for Flex?

The SAS Theme Designer 4.1 for Flex enables you to easily customize the appearance of SAS web applications that are displayed with the Adobe Flash Player. The SAS Theme Designer 4.1 for Flex is, itself, a Flex web application. You use SAS Theme Designer 4.1 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 customization 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 4.1 for Flex affects only applications that use release 2.4 (or later) of SAS Application Themes for Flex. The work that you do in the SAS Theme Designer 4.1 for Flex has no effect on web applications that are not Flex applications (for example, SAS Web Report Studio 4.3).
