Many parts of the Actuate dashboard environment and browser-based tools use style sheets located in the Encyclopedia volume or in the installation of Information Console.

The Information Console uses different skins to customize the appearance of the web interface. Gadgets such as data visualization gadgets use CSS style sheets in the ThemesReportItems.rptlibrary, located in the Resource folder of the Encyclopedia volume.

HTML, video, and third-party gadgets can load their own CSS style sheets in their embedded content.

Report and Reportlet gadgets use style sheets and themes that are defined in the embedded BIRT document or design file.

Cross tab gadgets use the themes embedded in the cross tab by the browser‑based BIRT Data Analyzer tool.

For more information about managing style sheets for Information Console, see Information Console Developer Guide. Also see BIRT: A Field Guide and Integrating and Extending BIRT, both published by Addison-Wesley.
