Changing the color of Menu links in portal header

Here are the steps to modify global menu links on portal headers in OBIEE 11g. Requirement is to change blue color of links (like HOME,Search,Catalog,etc).

Steps :-

1. Open Common.css located at $Home\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\sk_blafp\b_mozilla_4
2. Find Entry with .HeaderSearchGo.
3. You will find colort propery of thie class as .HeaderMenubar, .HeaderQuickSearchPrompt, .HeaderSearchGo{HeaderSearchGo{color:#A9DFF5;}
4. Now change according to the need. In my case, I wanted to change it to #99CC00.
5. Ex. .HeaderSearchGo{color:#99CC00;}
6. Save the file.
7. Replicate the same change in tmp file located at user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\silp1v\war\res\sk_blafp\b_mozilla_4.
8. Save the file.
9. Restart the services.
10. Sometimes, need to clear the browser cache also.

This post is just an example. You can change most of the CSS files as per need.

One more example is how to change color of the dashboard headr container to green. For that I have changed HeaderContainer's background color property like shown below.

.HeaderContainer {

    -moz-font-feature-settings: normal;

    -moz-font-language-override: normal;

    -x-system-font: none;

    background-color: #339966;

    font-family: Tahoma;

    font-size: 11px;

    font-size-adjust: none;

    font-stretch: normal;

    font-style: normal;

    font-variant: normal;

    font-weight: normal;

    line-height: normal;

}

Header after these changes looks like

Cheers..
