Tina,The blue banner at the top of most of the OOB forms is just a background image of a blue bar with the BMC logo in the right corner. Before you try a lot of image manipulation, try this:
1- Open the form in ARAdmin 2- Form Menu -> Current View -> Properties -> Appearance.3- In the background section, change the Horizontal field from Left to Fill. This will stretch the image to the right, and how far is determined by which fields are VISIBLE when the form is displayed.
4- Press OK. You'll see the difference immediately. If you don't like it, don't save it.
5- Save the formIf you have added only a narrow field on the right the worst that will happen is that the BMC logo will widen slightly.
I have done this with a few forms that I no longer care are exactly 1024x768, and it works well as long as the new view isn't a LOT wider than the old one.
If you want to export the image use the Save To Disk button and save it as image.bmp or image.jpg (adding the .bmp file extension yourself. Just type it). You can then modify the saved image in something like Paint or the Snag-it image editor or just about any other graphics program.
Of course, BMC might object to distortion of their logo :-) Hope this helps... Doug Blair On Jun 8, 2009, at 9:55 AM, tina flores wrote:
Hi,I added new fields on a OOB form and needed to extend the BMC Banner found on top of the form (This is the blue banner with the "BMC REMEDY IT SERVICEMANAGEMENT - xxxxxx and the area where you can find the Help and bmcsoftware). I tried to go Form > Manage Views > Form Properties >Appearance tab and tried to Save the image to disk thinking that I will be able to modify the image but when I saved this a .bmp image, i got this error message: "No Image Conversion will take place. Save anyway?" I clicked "Yes". When I accessed the file, it gave me the error: "file not found".Has anyone modified the banner before? Can you guide me on how to do this?Is there an existing file created on install that I can modify? Any help is appreciated.
