Applying a style to a page

The style you apply to a page governs the colors and fonts used by the page and all the tabs, portlets, and items displayed within it.

When you create a page, if you do not explicitly choose a style, the page group's default style is applied to your page. If the page group's default style is set to <None>, the system default style is applied to your page. If you want to use different colors and fonts, you can apply a different style to the page.

To apply a style to a page, you must have at least one of the following privileges

If the Allow Privileged Users To Manage Page Style page group setting is enabled, users with Manage or Manage Style privileges on the page can also apply a style to a page.

If the Allow Privileged Users To Customize Page Style page group setting is enabled, users with at least Customization (Style) privileges on the page can choose a different style when they customize the page.

You can apply a style only to Standard pages and pages of a custom type based on the Standard page type.

To apply a style to a page:

  1. Go to the page on which you want to work.

  2. Switch to Edit mode.

  3. In the page toolbar at the top of the page, click Style.

    Tip: You can also click Properties next to the page in the Navigator, and then click the Style tab.

  4. The Current Style field shows which style is currently applied to the page. The Style Properties section includes a preview of the current style's settings. To apply a different style to the page, choose the style you want to use in the Choose Style list.

    Note: The Choose Style list includes all the public styles in this page group and the shared objects page group, as well as any styles that you have created in this page group for your own use.

  5. The style you choose becomes the current style, and the preview is refreshed to show the style's settings.

    Click each of the radio buttons to check that colors and fonts used in the style meet your requirements.

  6. If you are satisfied with the style you have chosen, click OK to return to the page.

    Tip: If you cannot find a style with the color and font settings that you want, and you have the appropriate privileges, you can click the link in the Style Properties section to edit an existing style to meet your requirements, or use the New Style section to create a new style.
