  2. Copy the following file:

    iam_im.ear/user_console_war/app/imcss/neteauto

    iam_im.ear/

    Give it the following name:

    iam_im.ear/user_console_war/app/imcss/yourskin

  3. In the yourskin directory, rename the files in the following table:

Current Name

New Name

neteauto.css

yourskin.css

neteauto_task.css

yourskin_task.css

neteauto.properties

To simplify administration, the name of the .properties file and the .css files should correspond to the name of the skin.
