Replacing Images

You can replace images appearing in the Desktop user interface by using the Branding application on Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server. Replacement takes affect immediately, therefore we recommend that you should not replace images on a server that is currently in service. Replacement does not affect the proper function of the Desktop user interface.Most web browsers store local copies of images to accelerate future views of the same image. This practice is called caching. Any browser that has previously loaded an image that you replace may display its local copy of the old image rather than your replacement image. If an image in the Desktop user interface does not appear to be the same as the one displayed as the currently installed image, then you must clear your browser's cache. Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server is released with a set of default images which you can restore at any time.

Procedure

Step 1 Select Start.

Step 2 Choose Programs > Desktop > Branding Application.

The branding application starts.

Step 3 Select the Images tab.

The images that can be replaced are displayed together with the recommended size and a brief description of each image.

Note If an image has a transparent background, it appears with a gray and white "checkerboard" background in the preview fields.

Step 4 From the list, choose the image you want to replace.

A brief description of the image is displayed along with the recommended image size. The Default image area shows the image that was originally distributed with the product. The Currently installed image shows the image that appears in the user interface.

Step 5 Select Select File, and then choose the replacement image.

A preview of the image is displayed. If you use an image that the application indicates as not properly sized, a warning appears below the image description. Using an image that does not match the original image size might result in incorrect image display.

Step 6 If you use an image that is not properly sized, verify that the image is displayed correctly:

a. Verify that the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server is running.

b. Review the Desktop user interface after replacement in order to verify that the image appears correctly.

Step 7 Select Install Image to use the replacement image.This image is replaced.

Note If an old image still appears, see your browser's documentation for information about removing temporary internet files.

Step 8 To restore a default image, select Restore Original Image.

Step 9 Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 for other images.

Modifying Strings

You can modify some strings appearing in the Desktop user interface. New string values you set using the Branding application appear in the user interface only after Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server starts and reads these values. Therefore, you can see modified strings only after the changes are applied and after the server is restarted if it was running when you made the changes.

Procedure

Step 1 Select Start.

Step 2 Choose Programs > Desktop > Branding Application.

Step 3 Select the Strings tab.

The strings that can be replaced are displayed along with the their values:

•The Rebranded Value column displays values that are currently saved. When the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server is restarted, these are the values that appear in the user interface.

•The Default Value column displays values that are the original strings that were distributed with Desktop.

Step 4 Select the relevant cell in the New Value column and type in the new string you want to use.

Or

Double-click a value in the Rebranded Value column or the Default column to copy it into the New Value column.

Step 5 Repeat Step 4 for other strings if necessary.

Step 6 Select Apply.

The new values are saved. The modified values appear in the Rebranded Value column.

Step 7 Restart the "Desktop - Apache Tomcat" service for the changes to take affect.

Step 8 To restore default strings:

a. Select Restore All Default Strings.

b. Select Apply.

c. Restart the "Desktop - Apache Tomcat" service for the changes to take affect.

Saving or Restoring Branding- Related Changes

You can save modified images and strings by exporting them to a file. You can later use this file to import values from it, thus restoring them.

Procedure

Step 1 Select Start.

Step 2 Choose Programs > Desktop > Branding Application.

Step 3 To save modified images and strings:

a. From the File menu, choose Export.

b. Specify the location in which you want to save the file.

c. Select Save.

Step 4 To restore the modified images and strings from the file:

a. From the File menu, choose Import.

b. Navigate to the export file.

c. Select Import.

Step 5 Restart the "Desktop - Apache Tomcat" service for the changes to take affect.
