Configure Themes

Themes in Parallels RAS is a functionality that defines the look and feel of a client. At the time of this writing the following clients can use customizable themes:

• HTML5 client . An HTML5 client theme is a combination of colors, title, icons, display language, and some other items that users will experience when they open the Parallels HTML5 client in their web browsers.
• Parallels Client for Windows . A Windows client theme allows you to customize the appearance of Parallels Client for Windows. By doing so, you can provide a Parallels Client for Windows with custom branding to your customers and/or users.

Note that other Parallels clients always use the default theme. This may change in future releases of Parallels RAS.

To manage themes, navigate to Farm / <site> / Themes in the Parallels RAS Console. The Themes view in the right pane displays the available themes. The list contains at least one default theme. This theme cannot be removed but you can customize it as needed. In addition to the default theme, you can create your own themes.

To create a new or modify an existing theme:

• Click Tasks > New Theme (or click the [+] icon) to create a new theme.
• Double-click an existing theme (or right-click it and choose Properties ).

The Theme Properties dialog opens. Use the dialog to create a new or modify an existing theme. The instructions in the subsequent sections apply to both scenarios.
