How can I change styles in the Web Archive?

To change the styles in your Web Archives, edit the custom-root.css file in the archive's CSS folder. The custom-root.css file applies to all databases in the catalog.

If you wish to change the styles of an individual archive, you can edit the custom-db.css file in the CSS folder of that particular archive.

If needed, you can also edit the catalog.html and the index.html files to change the appearance of the database and web viewer components.

Change styles for all future archives

If you are creating many separate archives, you can also modify the HTML and CSS templates in the Seascape database, so that you don't have to edit them later after the archives have been created.

Please note that these changes will be overwritten when you upgrade to a newer version of Seascape. Please keep a backup of your custom CSS files so you can reapply them after the upgrade.

Seascape Viewer zip

The Seascape Viewer zip file is included with Seascape and contains Web Viewer files. Mentioned CSS files, custom-root.css and custom-db.css, are in the css subfolder of the zip file. You can modify these files, save the changes in the zip.

If you are using the Notes JVM for your exports, you need to update the Seascape Viewer zip file in the SeascapeResources form. If you are using the External JVM, you need to update the Seascape Viewer zip file in the resources folder on your disk. Newer versions of Seascape use the External JVM by default. You can verify which JVM is in use in your Seascape General settings.

Notes JVM: Modify SeascapeResourcesForm

If you are using Notes JVM, open the Seascape database in Domino Designer and locate the SeascapeResources form.

On top of the form, you will see the file seascape-viewer-XX.XX.XXX.zip.

Replace this zip file in the SeascapeResources form with your modified version.

External JVM: resources folder

If you are using the External JVM, you need to replace the Seascape Viewer zip file in your <Notes Data>\SwSSC\<X.XX.XX>\resources folder with your modified version.
