Transferred from WinMag preface to friends who have used Exchange, must know Owa. Its powerful features, simple deployment, fast applications bring a lot of praise to everyone, but also an important way to deploy VPN or RPC / HTTP and other mailboxes. But the OWA's interface is not exempt. Although there is a lot of hungry improvements in the OWA interface, what is still missing. In the era of information, people like and heat in personalized life. Whether it is the company's working environment, or a personal mobile phone, a personalized feature. Each person is used by the operating system, although all Windows, but the background, color, etc. are different. However, unfortunately, in the OWA of Exchange, you can't fully show your personality. You can't easily replace OWA. Custom OWA appearance looks not important, but today, it is also a lot of people hope to do it. It is grateful that Microsoft's developers have seen this extensive demand. In OWA in EX2003, the concept of the theme has been introduced, which allows users to design their own themes. The purpose of this article is to guide everyone to design the OWA theme. First, simple custom first look at simple, first we have to know that OWA uses hundreds of various icons on its web representation, where they are stored in the / program files / exchsrv / Exchweb / IMG directory This directory contains 522 image files. All files have a GIF. You can edit these files for your favorite content, or you can replace them with your own image (note size), modify this file is particularly careful, do not change the size and characteristics of the picture. And it is necessary to note that once you have a new service pack, your changes will be restored. You need to keep a copy to recover. In this directory contains files with Logon's beginning, they are used for the login page for the table. The files of the OWA's form-based login page are stored in / program files / exchsrv / exchweb / bin / auth / directory. In this directory, you are classified by language. You find the language you use, you can see the logon.asp file, this is the login page. Now you can freely modify and play your imagination. (Pay attention to modifying the dynamic code and the size of the dynamic code and the size of the file !!) Note: Microsoft does not recommend you to do such custom operations, nor do you assume technical support. When you accidentally destroy some questions, please copy the original version of the file back to the original position. Second, establish the theme for complex changes, unable to rely on the modification of the file, we need to establish a topic belonging to your own. let's start.
The default topic is stored in / progran files / exchsrv / exchweb / thene, there are some directories below this directory, which is 0-4, 10 files in each directory, the following is a description of these files: * logo2.gif : Brand logo * nb-bkgd.gif: OWA background color * nb-hide-ql.gif: The image in the left navigation board, the default is a small triangle * nb-show-ql.gif: Navigation bar is hidden Image * NV-QL-TGL.GIF: Backlets displayed after nb-hide-ql.gif and nb-show-ql.gif, * nin-sleel-bkgd.gif: Navigation bar image provides high bright Bar * nin-bg.gif: OWA popped up new mail rule background image * Tool-bkgd.gif: OWA background * resize-dot.gif: No item 10 is not an image file But a CSS file. Among them, the color specification of the subject is defined. Third, let the theme run to establish the topic, you need to register it. Such exchange knows that there is such a topic. You can register the topic on the organization's Exchange server, put the theme file on all OWA computers, including front-end servers. Register the topic, you need to create a REG-SZ type button under the registry "hklm / system / currentControlSet / Services / MSExChangeWeb / Owa / themes" key, the name is the topic name you want to display, its value is four pairs of names and values Note that these are forced, if you have some of them, the system will ignore the entire topic. These four pairs of names are: * ID - the subject ID, use 10 binary or 16 credit, cannot conflict with the ID already conflict. It is not more than 0x80000000. * Path - the path of theme, the path here is relative, relative to "ExchWeb / Themes". * Title - the subject name, must be less than 512 characters * bgcolor - the background color of the theme, represented by RGB mode (16) sample: ID = 0x200; path = my3d; title = my3d; bgcolor = # ffffff The user selects the user to select a registered topic that already exists from the OWA navigation bar under the options under the OWA navigation bar and selects an existing registered topic. The default location will display OWA default four color themes. If you want users to force a specific topic, you can mark the following registry: HKLM / System / CurrentControlSet / Services / MsexChangeWeb / Owa / Themes, build a key called the DefaultTheme, its value The ID number for you want users to use the subject. This allows users to force the specific topics you specify, but users can still modify the topics in the options. V. Edited OWA In EX2000, OWA provides a method of breaking OWA functionality, which can block a part of the OWA function for a particular user. In 2003, you can easily use the OwaAdmin tool to implement this function. The features that can be decomposed include: calendar, contacts, tasks, diary, masters, public folders, calendar reminders, rich interfaces and new email notifications. These features have a specified decomposition value in the server.
