You can change the color of the main body of a portlet by editing the style that is applied to the page or region.
The following example shows the same portlet with different body color settings:
To
change the portlet body color, you must have at least one of the
following privileges:
Manage Style privileges on the page group to which the style belongs
Manage Style global privileges on All Page Groups
Manage global privileges on All Styles
Be careful when changing a style, because any changes you make affect the appearance of all the pages and regions that use the style.
Portlets created within Oracle9iAS Portal (for example, categories and perspectives) may be set to use their own style instead of the style of the page on which they are placed. So even if you change the portlet body color, these portlets will not use that color.
In the Navigator, click Edit next to the style with which you want to work.
Tip: If the style is used by more than one page group, it will be under the Shared Objects page group.
Tip: If you do not know the name of the style you want to change, edit a page or region that uses the style. When editing a page or region, if you have the appropriate privileges, you can also edit the style used by that page or region.
In the Style Element Type section, choose Portlets.
In the Style Element Properties section, choose Portlet Body Color.
To select a new portlet body color, click the color in the color palette, or enter the hexadecimal color code in the Background Color field.
Click Apply.
The Preview section is refreshed to show your color selection.
Click Close to return to the Navigator.
