  • 1.  Initial Launcher Colors - Company Specific - For All Users

    Version 2022 PU2
    Is there a way to set the Initial Launcher Colors (Library Master, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Etc,) to a unique color, such as Red for a specific company code, for all users.  I know you can set the color by user code by logging on as the user then going to View, then selecting one of the color icons from the "Visual" area.  I am looking for a global "main menu" color change for all users for a specific company code. 

    the purpose is that prior to an upgrade form version 2020 to version 2022, we want to make it obvious that the user is either in version 2020 or version 2022.  Having a different color scheme should help.  There are 40 users.  We don't want to have to change the screen color for every user.  It would be great to change it globally.

    I know a theme can be created and then assigned in company maintenance, however, I don't see how to change the colors on the main launcher using the theme. it seems the only time a color changes when the theme is used is once you click on the module from the main menu and get into the specific screen panels.

    Are you not able to simply use company background/frame colors via Comp Maint?

    Or are you wanting to set the color on the main interface/desktop screen?

    I know you can edit the html for the Information Center display, but not sure if that can be company-specific.  I think @Jeff Schwenk has done some editing of the html, so maybe he has some thoughts.​

    Doug what if you had each of these users change their launcher style on 2022 to one of these:

    @Jane Scanlan  I think that may be the only way to do it... by user.  My customer wanted to change it globally, by company code.  I wanted to see if anyone had done this or if I was missing something before I told him it wasn't possible.  ​Thanks @Jane Scanlan and @Brett Zimmerman for your suggestions!

    You can change the PANELS globally.  This does not affect the launcher but users get the message when they see the bright red color.
