Comments precede each section, so that you know whether a section can be customized. The following
example presents the Global style variables section of the stylesheet.
Changing the Logo
The Logo setup section of the XSLT stylesheet contains variables that control the logo that appears on
user interface pages. The search result page figure (see “Getting Started with Customizing the User
Interface” on page 91) includes a custom logo.
Changing Global Style Variables
The Global Style variables section of the XSLT stylesheet contains variables that control the following
elements of all search and search results pages:
•
Font faces and sizes
•
Page background color
•
Text color
•
Link colors
The search result page figure (see “Getting Started with Customizing the User Interface” on page 91)
illustrates changes to the global font face, global font colors, global link colors, and page background
color.
Changing Result Page Components
The Result page components section of the XSLT stylesheet contains variables that control the
appearance of elements that appear at the top of the search results page. These elements include the
page header, search box and button, separation bar, spelling suggestions, and so on. The search result
page figure (see “Getting Started with Customizing the User Interface” on page 91) illustrates changes to
the page header, search button, and separation bar.
The following table lists all result page elements that you can change and the types of changes you can
make to each one.
