Customizing Graphics 

Companies often find it very important to customize the looks of an application to match their own. [JP1] VisitorRego.NET can facilitate these needs by allowing a company to change the visual schemes and image resources used by the application.

 

The maintain site screen accessed by ‘file>maintain site’ is used to specify what graphics are used by VisitorRego.NET during the self registration process.

The Maintain Site screen when first opened:

 

When changing an image simply change the name of the current image e.g. ‘Welcome.bmp’ to the name of the new image e.g. ‘Welcome_new.jpg’.




To Preview an image to check any changes simply click on the 'open' button to the right of the new image.
note: this will open the default program for editing images in order to preview the image in question.

Things to ensure when changing an image:

  • That the image size matches the screen resolution of the computer running [app].
    • To check the screen resolution on Windows XP:
      • ‘Right Click’ the desktop background and select ‘Properties’.
      • Under the ‘Display Properties’ window select the ‘Settings’ tab.
      • The displays resolution should be located under the ‘Screen Resolution’ box e.g. 1280 by 1024 pixels.
    • On Windows Vista:
      • ‘Right Click’ the desktop background and select ‘Personalise’.
      • Under the ‘Personalise’ window click on the ‘Display Settings’ category.
      • Under the Resolution Slider should be the resolution of your display e.g. 1280 by 1024 pixels.
    • On Windows 7:
      • ‘Right Click’ the desktop background and select ‘Screen resolution’.
      • In the ‘resolution’ box should be the resolution of your display e.g. 1280 x 1024.
  • That the image itself is under the “Res” directory of VisitorRego.NET. The directory should be ether:
    • ‘C:\Program Files\VisitorRego.NET\Res’
    • ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\VisitorRego.NET\Res’
  • That the right file extensions are used e.g. .jpg, .bmp, or .gif.
  • That the new image is placed under the correct site and in the correct column.
