Changing the WDK 5.3 Content Transfer Progress Bar Image

June 2005

Abstract

A simple tip that discusses how you can change the look of the content transfer progress bar in WDK 5.3.

Description

The content transfer progress bar in WDK 5.3 consists of a 1x23 GIF image. The default image is VIRTUAL-ROOT/custom/theme/documentum/images/animated/progressbar_bg.gif. As progress is made copies of this image are appended to indicate progress. By modifying the image you can change the look of the progress bar.

To override the image create a gif image of width 1 pixel and height 23 pixels and name it progressbar_bg.gif. Place this image in VIRTUAL-ROOT/custom/theme/documentum/images/animated/ folder assuming that 'custom' represents your custom application folder.

You can also create GIF animations for enhanced effects such as wave or ripple effects (if that is what you want!). For example, this gif gives a wave/ripple effect to the progress bar. Place it in the above mentioned folder. You might need to restart your app server.
