SID-02087: Changing the WebHeader image

I am currently trying to change the header to match my company's. The trouble is that I am changing in TWikiPreferences the parameters, and some are not working. I managed to change the "Collaborate with TWiki" logo and changed the link of the gray "twiki.org" word, but I can't change the background. I have tried with:

• Set WEBHEADERART =
• Set WEBHEADERBGCOLOR = #00ff00

The "Red_background.jpg" file is a random background I downloaded from google to test it, but is bigger than the size of the header. I changed the owner and group to the same as the other files and set the permissions to 777.

WEBHEADERBGCOLOR does not seem to change anything either.

Any thoughts of what could it be that I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Discussion and Answer

The WEBHEADER* settings are not used by the TopMenuSkin. See skin docs on how to customize. If you want to change the top banner image you'd need customize TWiki.TopMenuSkinTopBar in your installation (and make a note to reapply the changes on the next upgrade).
