Hi Erwan:
Understood, but that isn't my point. Unless I'm wrong, we have taken away a feature that anyone with permission could accomplish using the Catalog Manager and a form based interface and replaced that with a task that requires the following skills:

   The user needs to either be versed in using a text editor *and* know
   what file to change and where to change it

   Or have database experience

In either case, they may also need to reinstall seed data. Not sure since I can't find it documented anywhere precisely how this is suppose to work.

Am I wrong? Is there a "Theme" design document anywhere?
Just my 2 cents.

Hi Anne:
Thanks. I haven't had time to delve into the code.

Seems to me like this would not be a good thing - taking away a feature
in the Catalog Manager (especially something as useful as changing the
logo) and replacing it with: 1) hardwiring in a configuration file 2)
plus I now find out a reinstall of the seed data is required to change a
theme. Does that mean a reinstall of seed data is needed to change the
logo?
you can just change the logo in the database, by modifying this entry : <VisualThemeResource visualThemeId="BLUELIGHT" resourceTypeEnumId="VT_HDR_IMAGE_URL" resourceValue="/images/ofbiz_logo.gif" sequenceId="01"/>


Am I wrong? Can I still dynamically change the logo using the Catalog
Manager or some other OFBiz tool?
Any comments? Anyone else on the list care about stuff like this?
