How can Aspera Console be re-skinned?
Introduction
As of version Aspera Console 1.5, Aspera does not officially support re-skinning the Web GUI.
However, if customers require a re-skinned GUI for their project, possibly for re-branding purposes, they can customize graphics and style sheets to this end.
Guidlines
The following points to the files that can be modified to re-skin the GUI:
- The main style sheet is
/opt/aspera/console/public/stylesheets/console_yui.css
- Image files are located in
/opt/aspera/console/public/images/
- The main navigation bar can be changed by replacing the image
nav_bg.gif
- The logo background image and header color are set in the
console_yui.css
style sheet by modification of the .header class. - Replacing the single image
button_bg.gif
can change the blue gradient background of the buttons. - The table headers use
data_grid_header_bg.gif
. - Header and other fonts can be inspected by the web designer and changed as desired, mostly within
console_yui.css
. - For the page tabs - as seen in the Configuration section and elsewhere - the relevant images are

.
Important Node:
Since the re-skinning of the Console is not an officially supported procedure by Aspera as of the current version of Aspera Console, the user should perform all custom changes with great care in order to assure the proper functioning of Aspera Console. In the case of a minor or major software update, Aspera does not guarantee, that the modifications will still work as before. In particular it is necessary to backup all customizations prior to a software update and then reapply after the update. It is advisable to carefully document all modifications, so that these can be reapplied after an update.
