11.8.2 Applying a Style to a Region

The style you apply to a region governs the colors and fonts used by the region and all the tabs, items, and sub-page links displayed within it. By default, regions use the same style as their parent page. However, you may want to apply a different style to a region to create visual interest. You can apply a style to item, tab, and sub-page links regions. You cannot apply a style to a portlet region. All portlets on a page use the style that is applied to the page. One exception to this is page portlets. With page portlets, you are given the opportunity to use the source page’s style or to use the style of the containing page. Using the style of the containing page works in most cases. The exception is when the source page is provided through the Federated Portal Adapter. In such cases, the setting to use the style of the containing page is ignored. The page portlet uses whatever style is applied to its source. Note: The Choose Style list includes all styles that you have created in this page group, all styles that were created in this page group by others and that you have privileges to use, and all styles in the Shared Objects page group. The initial selection is the page group’s default style. Additionally, this list includes the choice Use Users Default Style. With this selection, the style a user chooses through the Account Info link will be used. The style each user sees will depend on his or her default style. The Current Style field shows which style is currently applied to the page. The Style Properties section includes a preview of the current styles settings. Tip: Click each of the radio buttons in the Style Properties section to preview the colors and fonts provided by the style. The Style Properties section shows the style that is currently selected in the Choose Style list. Note: For more information on styles and portlets, see Section 11.13, Troubleshooting Styles .
