SAP Gui 7.20 Configure Color Settings Greyed Out

[Former Member]

Hi, I have installed the new SAP Gui 7.20 patch 1 on 2 machines at my company. On one machine we can easily change the color settings for each theme. On the other PC, we can not go into "Configure Color Settings" to change the colors for any theme. The button is greyed out. I followed the extact same installation procedure and have the same access to both as well.

Has anyone seen this issue before and know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Marty

Follow these steps:

1. open SAP Login Pad.

2. open up a client and click on the 'Customise Local Layout' icon (Alt + F12).

3. Select 'Options...'

4. Select the ironically named 'Enjoy Theme'.

5. Click 'Apply'

6. Click on 'Ok' and close the client windows and the SAP Logon Pad. Note: you must close restart the SAP Login Pad for the them changes to take effect.

7. open the SAP Login Pad.

8. open up a client and click on the 'Customise Local Layout' icon (Alt + F12).

9. Select 'Options...'

10. click on 'Colors in System'

11. select your favourite colour and click on 'Apply'.

12. click on 'Ok'.

Hello Nick,

Sorry I didn't see your post until today,

I had previously created a Wiki for this exact type of query.

Hi Jude - Can the color be set at registry level instead of setting on individual client PCs?

Nick,

THANK YOU!  You did stop me from going insane.  I only wish I'd found your posted a couple hours earlier, because I was knocking at insanity's door for a while there.

Hi Marty,

the color settings are only possible for the ENJOY Thema.

in all other themes you can not change any colors.

No it did not answer my question. What you posted has been posted many many times. The fact is, I am in the Enjoy Theme, still no luck.

I figured it out. In control panels there is a SAP Gui Configuration option and the setting in there was NOT enjoy, even though the theme setting from my logon pad options was Enjoy. Apparently they all have to be set to the same settings for this to work as expected.

Nothing elseother I said to you.

Please also read the F1 help in the saplogon.

Best regards and a nice weekend
