  • 1.  Long description icons

    Posted Tue July 01, 2025 03:37 AM

    IN MAS 9 it is very difficult to distinguish between and populated and a non populated Long description using the icons - there used to be colour pallette to distinguish them by the icons but now they are grey. Can the icon colour be changed when a Long description is populated?.

    Hi Geoff

    in fact you have several options to achieve this. 

    1. You can simply replace img_longdescription_on.gif with your own one by including your image as applications/maximo/maximouiweb/webmodule/webclient/skins/mas8/imagesimg_longdescription_on.gif in your customization archive.
    2. You can provide custom CSS by including applications/maximo/maximouiweb/webmodule/webclient/css/extended.css stylesheet in your customization archive. For example with this simple CSS you may add a shadow background to your image.
      /*
  Applies a smooth transition effect to the filter property for both images.
  This ensures the change animates in both directions (on to off, and off to on).
*/
img[src*="img_longdescription_"] {
  transition: filter 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

/*
  Targets the "on" state image specifically.
  It increases the brightness and adds a subtle red glow to indicate an active state.
*/
img[src$="img_longdescription_on.gif"] {
  filter: brightness(1.1) drop-shadow(0 0 2px red);
}

    3. With MAS 9+ your can use global CSS injection (ref. Updating the user interface) and use CSS-based technique described above to style MAS Manage UI-element without a need to apply any customization archive and performing full build cycle.
