Themes - customize a PalMA installation

PalMA was initially developed for the Learning Center at Mannheim University Library. Other institutions want to show different views to their users, use different authentisation and customize other aspects of PalMA. This is possible by adding a new theme to PalMA.

How to add a new theme

Add a directory for your institution in directory theme. If you need more than one theme, it is also possible to add more directories in the directory of your institution. Examples: ub-mannheim/a3, ulb-bonn.

Each theme directory must include these files:

  • background.png. This is the background image which users will see on the team display when they work with PalMA. Any user windows will be shown on top of this background image.

  • favicon.ico. This icon is typically shown in bookmark lists of browsers or when the PalMA URL is saved on a smartphone.

  • palma-logo-49x18.png. This logo is used by PalMA's web interface index.php.

  • palma-logo-67x25.png. This logo is used by the login web interface login.php.

  • screensaver.php. PalMA shows this URL when no users are connected. It could be a static HTML page, but typically some information like a URL or a PIN which is created on the fly is shown here, too. The themes of ub-mannheim change the image after 10 minutes to avoid display burn in. Therefore these additional two files are needed:

    • palma_d.png
    • palma_e.png

  • winvnc-palma.exe. This is a preconfigured UltraVNC server for Windows.
