Customizing Icons

You can replace the default Parallels Pro Control Panel images with custom icons that suit your branding preferences. To replace an existing image, save the customized image using the file name of the original image, then replace the original image with the customized image. Make sure that the customized image is in the same graphic format as the original image. For example, do not copy a .png file as a .gif file.

For best results, make sure that the dimensions of the new image are the same as that of the original image as this will affect the visual appearance of the page.

To customize icons:

  1. Log in to the Parallels Pro Control Panel server as the root user.
  2. Assuming that the new image resides at ftp://ftp.example.com/images/home/events_inbox.gif, you can customize the /static/images/email.gif resource by typing the following command:

    /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceCustomize --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/ images/email.gif --skin <skin_name> --uri ftp://ftp.example.com/images/home/events_inbox.gif

  3. Refresh the Web page to view the change.
