Hi Matt,

Is there any way I can resize and reposition the text associated with the Desktop shortcut icons? (version 010101).

Thanks

Alan

Can you provide an image example of what you are trying to do to see if we can better understand the requirement.

There are currently no settings available to change the display of shortcuts. As a workaround you can look at overriding the CSS on the page to change the shortcut width, but this is your responsibility to figure out (which is not that hard) which is also not guaranteed to work in future versions of FOEX.

e.g.

.ux-desktop-shortcut { width: 94px !important; }
.ux-desktop-shortcut-text { display: block !important; }

Hi Matt,

Where would be the best place to put that override?

Thanks

Alan

It surprises me you don't know where to put CSS (on a particular page or application wide) in APEX. For this particular case edit your Desktop page and go to the CSS inline section and add the snippet.

You should familiarize yourself with using browser developer tools and inspectors for locating classes and styles applied to elements on the page so you can override them: http://slides.com/rimblas/go-go-gadget-inspectors

As I stated earlier it is your responsibility to figure any display changes out, what I have provided is merely an idea. As I said it's not guaranteed to work in future versions of FOEX!

Hi Matt,

You don't need to be surprised, as I'm perfectly well aware of where to put CSS on an Apex page. The reason for my question is that none of the methods I've tried seem to work in this case (including your suggestion above).

I have filed an enhancement request for more control over the desktop shortcuts.
