Developing themes and skins
You can create themes using modules to contribute to separate
areas of pages to provide flexibility, enhance the user experience,
and maximize performance. To optimize themes on your website, use
the theme optimization module framework. The framework separates feature-specific
logic and capabilities from the theme code.
Roadmap: Creating and customizing themes
Theme creation and customization are easy when you use the Theme Manager and download
your static theme files by using IBM Digital Experience File Sync. This roadmap provides an overview
of the theme creation and customization process. Links to detailed instructions for each step are
provided in the roadmap.
Getting started with Themes
Before you begin to develop themes, learn about the resources and the tools you can
leverage to create and customize them.
The module framework
The module framework allows extensions to contribute to
different areas of a page to provide flexibility, enhance the user
experience, and maximize performance.
Understanding the Simple Theme
With the Simple Theme, you can create, copy, and customize themes in minutes with just a
few clicks and far fewer files than the Portal 8.5 theme.
Understanding the Portal Versie 8.5 modularized theme
Modern websites and browsers enable incredible new capabilities
that can greatly enhance your user's web experiences. However, these
capabilities are not without cost in terms of large page sizes and
more processing in the browser when each page is rendered. These
capabilities are worth it when you need them, but removing them for
an entire site or including them only on pages that take advantage
of these capabilities provides for more flexibility.
Customizing the theme
The module framework
allows themes to be customized in
order to provide flexibility, enhance the user experience, and maximize
performance.
Developing themes for a production portal
Use the theme artifacts to package a theme for staging to production.
Device classes
Device classes are used in IBM WebSphere Portal Express as an
abstraction for common properties for the device of a client. For instance, tablet computers can be
grouped into a device class tablets , since they share a form factor
and possibly other traits such as touch interface, or additional hardware sensors.
Responsief webontwerp
Responsief Webontwerp zorgt ervoor dat de content er op mobiele apparaten en desktopcomputers ongeveer hetzelfde uitziet, hetgeen gunstig is voor de gebruikerservaring en de consistentie van uw merk. Naadloze veranderingen van de schermgrootte zijn nu mogelijk, van groot tot klein. Daarbij blijft de volgorde van de content gehandhaafd. Het onderhoud van de content wordt gemakkelijker omdat er slechts één site is, die wordt gepresenteerd met één set assets.
