This how-to describes how to brand the SWT client.
+
 
+
= Icons  =
+
 
+
=== Steps  ===
+
 
+
The icons that will be referenced must be placed in the SWT client's '''resources/icons''' directory (e.g. org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt/resources/icons)<br>
+
 
+
In order to customize the icon an application shows in its title bar and in the windows task bar, the following property below of the product must be modified in the org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt\'''plugin.xml''' file:  
+
 
+
  &lt;extension
+
      id="product"
+
      name=""
+
      point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products"&gt;
+
    &lt;product
+
          name="minicrm"
+
          application="org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt.application"&gt;
+
      &lt;property
+
            name="windowImages"
+
            value="resources/icons/Ora16.png,resources/icons/Ora32.png,resources/icons/Ora48.png,resources/icons/Ora64.png,resources/icons/Ora128.png"&gt;
+
      &lt;/property&gt;
+
      ... remaining properties ...
+
    &lt;/product&gt;
+
&lt;/extension&gt;
+
 
+
In addition, the icons must also be added to the product definition of the org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt\products\development\'''minicrm-swt-client-dev.product''' file:
+
 
+
  &lt;product name="minicrm" id="org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt.product" application="org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt.application" useFeatures="false" includeLaunchers="true"&gt;
+
  ... other entries ...
+
  &lt;windowImages
+
    i16="/org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora16.png"
+
    i32="/org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora32.png"
+
    i48="/org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora48.png"
+
    i64="/org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora64.png"
+
    i128="/org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora128.png"/&gt;
+
  ... other entries ...
+
&lt;/product&gt;
+
 
+
Alternatively, the icons can be defined in the visual product editor on the '''Branding '''tab:
+
 
+
[[Image:Branding-Swt-Client-Icons-Branding.png]]
+
 
+
=== Result  ===
+
 
+
[[Image:Branding-Swt-Client-Icons.png]]<br>
+
 
+
<br>
+
 
+
= Splash screen  =
+
 
+
=== Steps  ===
+
 
+
Adding a splash screen for SWT is trivial. The file must be names '''Splash.bmp''' and be located in the '''root directory''' of the SWT client: org.eclipse.minicrm.ui.swt\Splash.bmp.
+
 
+
If you want to add a progress bar and display a progress message you can do so in the '''Splash '''tab of the product editor:&nbsp;
+
 
+
[[Image:Branding-Swt-Client-Splash.png]]
