7.27. Branding the IDERI note ticker

By default, the IDERI note ticker shows the logo of IDERI GmbH on its user interface. Depending on the edge where the IDERI note ticker is docked to, 3 different logos are displayed that you can customize with your own logo. If the IDERI note ticker is either floating or docked horizontally to the upper or lower edge of the screen, a logo as in figure 7.91 is shown.

When docked to the left edge of the screen, a logo as in figure 7.92 is shown.

It is possible for you to replace all three logos with your own logos (“Branding”). All you have to do is replace the files logohrz.png (the logo when docked horizontally), logolft.png (the logo when docked to the left edge of the screen) and logorgt.png (the logo when docked to the right edge of the screen) , all of which reside with a size of 0 bytes in the IDERI note ticker installation directory, with your own logo files. You should use PNG files for this purpose that should be about the same size as the original IDERI logos. It might require a certain amount of experimentation until you get a pleasant look for your own logos on the IDERI note ticker but note that you can use the transparency feature of the PNG file format to your advantage. Also note that the IDERI note administrative tools package comes with the IDERI note client customization wizard. This wizard allows you to specify three arbitrarily named files for these three logo files and will create a cab file that you can use with your transform to automatically deploy your logo files of choice with the IDERI note client package. For further details please consult the online help page of the client customization wizard’s ticker logo specification page.
