http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21450132
If you don't have the Tivoli09 skin enabled, please follow the below steps:
You will need to navigate to:
<maximo_root>\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\images
Within this directory, the bg_navbar.jpg is the Navigation Bar image and the bg_navbar_applink.jpg is the Navigation Bar application link image.
Ensure you edit the .jpg file.
Create a backup of bg_navbar.jpg and bg_navbar_applink.jpg .
Open the images in an image editor and add text or a picture to the original. (Ensuring that you have a backup copy).
After editing and saving, you will need to backup/delete your Maximo EAR
- delete the cache
- rebuild and redeploy your Maximo EAR. After starting the application console/service
- delete the browser cache, then log into Maximo to ensure that the changes have taken affect.
Good Luck...
