Changing the Client Icon
By default, the icon in the upper left corner of the client UI is the IBM BigFix logo. This same icon is shown in the tray when an action is pending and in the task bar when the program is running. You can change this icon to help you clarify to your users who is the source of the action, and also to comply with corporate branding and trademark requirements. Follow these steps to change the icon:
- On Windows systems:
- Run the IBM BigFix Administration Tool from Start > Program Files > IBM BigFix > IBM BigFix Administration Tool.
- Click System Options tab.
- Click Add Icon and use the Open dialog to browse for your icon (.ico) file.
On Linux systems:
- Identify the path of the new icon, for example:
/IEM/newicon.ico
. - From the
/opt/BESServer/bin
command prompt, start the command line:./iem login --server=servername:serverport --user=username --password=password
- From the
/opt/BESServer/bin
command prompt, run the following command:
where: /IEM/newicon.ico represents the full path of the new icon and./iem post /IEM/newicon.ico admin/icon
admin/icon
is the parameter to use to upload the new icon.
The icon is propagated to the clients, but it is not incorporated into the interface until the client restarts. After that, when a client interface opens (in response to an action, a dashboard or an offer), it includes the graphic icon you specified.
