Modified on Mon, 10 Oct, 2022 at 11:21 AM

Newired style and color can be modified, in order to better fit the style of the target application.

In order to do that, you need to follow a few steps:

Download Newired update package from here: https://download.newired.com/

Open the Terminal and go to the folder where you downloaded the update package (use the cd command), then type unzip newired-update-xx_x_x.zip -d <NEW FOLDER NAME> to unzip the package

Type cd <NEW FOLDER NAME>/newired-update-xx_x_x

Inside the current folder, there is a file called “newired.war”. WAR files are a special kind of compressed file.
Type unzip newired.war -d newired_tmp to uncompress the file.

Type cd newired_tmp/WEB-INF/classes/launcher/package

Type vi NW_user.css

Now you can, in the terminal, change the values of the attributes to match your preferences (remember neither to add nor remove any properties).
To start editing, press i on the keyboard (The writing “-- INSERT --” should appear in the terminal, as shown in the image below).

To stop editing, press ESC on the keyboard
When you have finished modifying the file, type :x and press Enter to save and close the file
Type cd ../../../../ and press Enter to get in newired_tmp
Type zip -r ../newired.war * to generate a new WAR file
To complete the customization, you need to follow Newired update process.
