What Is the SAS Theme Designer 2.4 for Flex?
The SAS Theme Designer 2.4 for Flex is a small utility application that enables you to
easily customize the appearance of SAS Web applications that are displayed with the
Adobe Flash player. The SAS Theme Designer 2.4 for Flex is, itself, a Flex Web
application. You use the SAS Theme Designer 2.4 for Flex to create and deploy simple,
visually appealing, customized themes.
A theme defines the overall look and feel of an application. It is designed using colors
and graphics that are applied to common user interface components and layout
containers. A well-designed theme can create a strong visual identity across a product or
set of products. SAS recognizes that you might not want to view your SAS applications
in the default corporate theme. You might instead want to apply your own branding and
customizations, to help the SAS applications fit in with the rest of your software
environment. SAS also recognizes that users at your site often use more than one SAS
application in their daily work. Having a consistent look and feel ensures that the user’s
transition from one application to the next is as seamless as possible.
The SAS Theme Designer 2.4 for Flex affects only those applications that use version
2.4 (or later) of SAS Application Themes for Flex. The work that you do in the SAS
Theme Designer 2.4 for Flex has no effect on the following types of applications:
• Web applications that are not Flex applications (for example, SAS Web Report
Studio 4.3)
• earlier Flex applications from SAS (for example, SAS BI Dashboard 4.3)
Note: See the SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide for
information about themes for other types of applications.
