Reverting to your old design theme

When you upgrade SDL Tridion, the visual design of the user interfaces are updated to the new look–and–feel. If you want to keep using the existing visual design, you need to make changes to each Editor's configuration file.

Procedure

  1. On the Content Manager server, navigate to %TRIDION_HOME%\web\WebUI\Editors\.
  2. Access the subfolder of each Editor, including any custom Editors. For example, for Content Manager Explorer access the CME\ subfolder.
  3. Access the Editor Configuration\ subfolder and open the Editor's configuration file in a text editor. For example, for Content Manager Explorer, open Configuration\CME.config.
  4. Find the <theme> section and replace the value of the <path> element:
    Replace:
    <path>/Themes/Carbon2/</path>
    with:
    <path>/Themes/Carbon/</path>
  5. Save and close the Editor's configuration file.
  6. Repeat the procedure for each Editor configuration file.
  7. If you have Outbound E–mail or Audience Manager installed, navigate to %TRIDION_HOME%\Outbound Email\Editors\Configuration and open OEEditor.xml configuration file in a text editor.
  8. Find the <theme> section and replace the value of the <path> element:
    Replace:
    <path>/Themes/Carbon2/</path>
    with:
    <path>/Themes/Carbon/</path>
  9. Save and close OEEditor.xml.
  10. When you have modified all Editors' configuration files, access %TRIDION_HOME%\web\WebUI\Configuration\ and open System.config for editing.
  11. Find the <servicemodel> section and in the server subelement, increase the value of the modification attribute by 1.
  12. Save and close System.config.
