Customize Page title & favicon on Citrix Web Interface 5.x

Posted on July 13th, 2010

The defaut page title and fav icon logo appear on the browser tab when connecting to the Citrix Web Interface Site.

Shown here:

It is possible to replace the logo with your own one and change the text to be more appropriate.

Logo

The logo is:  ..\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\{site name}\media\IcaComboAll.ico

replace with your own .ico file but keep the same file name

Browser Title text

This is picked up from the following file:

..\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\{site name}\languages\common_strings.properties

Near the top of the file look for the sections:

DefaultProductName=Citrix XenApp
DesktopProductName=Citrix XenDesktop

and change to your own name.

the bit after the common name cannot be changed in the same way (i.e. the -Applications bit in the above screen grab). This changes depending on the screen you are in from the WI site (Applications, Messages, Preferences, session settings etc)

Customize logos on Citrix Web Interface 5.x

Posted on July 13th, 2010

This was done on Citrix Web Interface 5.2.0 but should work on any 5.x version

White theme

This is detailed in several places but most notably here: CTX119509

This gives the default logon screen in white.

Identify the images used

Here is a screen shot of the default view and list of the associated images & resolutions

There are 3 main images:

These are similar, but not the same, as the images for the Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise. The similar names are also listed. I have found it best to simply use the same images for both sites but just saved as different filetypes.

There is also the one moment please screen to consider

Simply open the ProgressWindow images and change the colour

File Locations

The Images are located in

..\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\{site name}\media

Simply copy the new images to this location and overwrite the old ones.

There are other ways to ammend these image details, by selecting the web site appearance options within the Web Interface console, but I find it easier and quicker to just overwrite the files.

Just make sure you keep the same dimensions for each image as this means you don’t need to edit any other files.
