Changing the Title, Header, and Logo
You can change various images on the Portal Server client, the VBrick set top box, and the
Amino set top box as explained below. On the Portal Server you can also change the default
title (
VBrick Systems) that is superimposed on the header image Figure 4) of the user
interface. To change this title go to
Global Assignments > Change Title, then enter a new
title or leave the title blank by entering at least one space. (Note that the title is always
displayed in white text and may not be visible if you use a light-colored background image.)
This change will be retained through subsequent software upgrades. You can also change the
header and logo images on the Portal Server and the set top boxes but these changes are not
retained when you upgrade the application. Use care when making any changes. It is always a
good idea to copy and save the orignal image files. For best results, open and view each image
in an editor before making any changes. Note that you cannot change any images on the
Admin user interface.
