- Create a custom style.
You create a custom style based on one of the predefined styles provided with IBM Cognos see Predefined Styles. For more information, see Creating a Custom Style.
- Generate the custom style.
The style management utility creates a folder for the new style on the local machine in the c10_location\temp folder. The folder contains all the files needed for the new style, including the cascading style sheets and images.
For IBM Cognos Report Studio, IBM Cognos Viewer, IBM Cognos Query Studio, and prompt pages, you must manually edit the associated cascading style sheets before you deploy the new style. For more information, see
- Deploy the style.
To deploy a style, first you zip the folder that contains the new style and the associated .css and image files. Then, you extract the zip file to the c10_location\webcontent\skins directory on all gateway locations.
- Publish the custom style.
Publishing a custom style makes it available to your users. When you publish a style, it appears in the list of styles in IBM Cognos Connection.
