[CLOSED] Tab frame not tall enough

Hi Dee and welcome to the "Point".

If, as your signature indicates, you are still on 7.6 then you might have some luck digging around the CSS files when customising a dashboard layout. If you search on "custom dashboard" using the link above you should find some useful posts. Also look for the document for your version in the tech doc library (I am sure that there was one?).

I would try and identify it for you but I no longer have that version quickly available to me

deej,
i have 7, and i've looked in WebFOCUS76/worp/conf and in /worp_custom/
(navigate there on your server so you can see the directory structure)
i don't think its in the /worp_custom/whateverwork/banner.css or banner.html. The banner.html just has a set of SPAN tags for the links to be brought in via some xml somewhere. and its class=text just refers to text attributes.
In the content.css there's a tempting line 45, in the .tabsDiv{ height: 30 px...
i tried tweaking that, and nothing changes.
In the profile.prf , there's a bannerHeight, but that seems to have no effect.
I've looked at the /work/conf/layout.xml and line 20 looks very tempting, but i tried changing the rows="105,20,*" to rows="105,40,*" and it didnt' work; i think that middle 20 refers to the message block (if you use a message, we don't).
so i would open a case, and ask specifically which file and which line and which parm you can change. Its gotta be there somewhere.

would you post back to this thread if you figure it out?

Thank you for the replies Tony and Susannah. I will take a look into it a little deeper when I can get my head above water a little bit. As I said, I'm new to this software (and position) so I have a lot on my plate at the moment.

I will post back once I've had the chance to do a little more research.

Thanks!

Use Internet Explorer Developer Tools (F12).

I determined that the class for the tabs area is tabsDiv [in file Drive:\ibi\worp_custom\aa_gbv\content.css (aa is the BID view ID)], which for my view has height : 24px ; This is overridden by some inline style to 30px. This inline style override might be the WF BID 'engine'? (The Developer Tool cannot determine that).

To force the 'engine' to use the stylesheet height I tried

height : 64px !important;

which works.

!important usually overrides all other cascading styles.

I tried to change that myself a couple of years ago. You cannot. You can change the font size, wrap your text to two lines but you cannot change tab size itself.

Hi,
There is no setting anywhere. You did it by editng the source code. What are your privileges, admin? Were you able to do that in 7.6 or in 7.5? We were in 7.6.10 and that is what we were told by IBI as I had opened a case. I probably should have included that in my original remarks.

Kathy, you can use the B.I Dashboard View Builder GUI "Custom Colors" settings to change the colours. Since this settings page is rudimentary, where all you can do is change colours, not fonts or anything else, it is not illegal to edit the code.

And you need to edit the css file if you want to specify the font attributes - there is no way of doing it from the GUI.
