Theme tasks
To ensure that your new environment functions properly, complete theme tasks such as
updating the default theme and skin or applying themes to your pages.
Updating the default theme and skin
You can add the Portal 8.5 theme and 8.5 skin to all new pages by default.
Applying the new theme to your Portal pages
Custom portal resources, such as themes and skins, are
migrated automatically. The Portal 8.5 theme is also deployed when
migration is complete. However, you must complete extra steps to apply
the theme to your pages.
Enabling drag on a 7.0.0.2 migrated theme
The migrated 7.0.0.2 theme is not enabled with the drag metadata. Therefore, you must add
the information to the theme definition.
Reinstalling the PortalTheme
If you migrate from Version 7.0 to Version 8.5, when you
apply the latest Combined Cumulative
Fix during post-migration, the
PortalTheme from earlier WebSphere Portal versions
is removed. If your system requires this theme, then you can manually
reinstall it.
