Customizing the Login screen and icons

To make SuperOffice use custom bitmaps for the login and progress screens, do the following:

  • create an IMAGES folder below the  folder containing SOCRM.  SoLoader can help you do this automatically.
  • Place images with the appropriate file names in the folder.

SuperOffice will automatically detect the image files and use them next time it starts up.

The image files should have names as described in this table:

FilenameDescription
LoginCRM.bmpLogin to SOCRM
LoginCRMProgress.bmpProgress bar on SOCRM
LoginAdmin.bmpLogin to SOADMIN
LoginAdminProgress.bmpProgress bar on SOADMIN
HintCRM.bmpBitmap shown in startup hint dialog
AboutCRM.bmpAbout SOCRM dialog background
AboutAdmin.bmpAbout SOADMIN dialog background
NavigatorIcon.bmpOwl Button above navigator.
AppIconCRM.icoTaskbar icon for SOCRM
AppIconAdmin.icoTaskbar icon for SOADMIN

In addition there are a couple of SuperOffice.ini settings you can use to modify the text color used on the login/progress screens to better match the custom backgrounds:

[SuperOffice] LoginCRMTextColor= 0,0,0             ; = black LoginCRMProgressTextColor= 255,0,0   ; = red LoginAdminTextColor= 0,255,0         ; = green LoginAdminProgressTextColor= 200,200,200 ; = light grey

The colors are specified as RGB values: 0 is black, 255 is maximum intensity.

Note that the color values are always read from the INI file in the SOCRM.EXE folder - it ignores the INIPATH parameter you may have specified on the commandline.
