Branding

The Open Mobile interface can be branded, enabling you to maintain a brand identity with company colors, logos, and text strings. You can maintain any number of distinct brands, and each can be assigned to a different Open Mobile profile. A client brand comprises the set of icons, images, text strings, additional help content, and colors you choose to include in the client’s look and feel.

The complete list of client branding options are included in the following tables. If no element is branded, a default is used.

Image File Types: Open Mobile requires two image file types in branding: .PNG (Portable Network Graphics format) and .ICO (Icon format) files. PNG files are used for many branding elements because, unlike other image formats, they are highly scalable, universal across platforms, and low-loss. ICO files are required by Windows for correct display on the Windows taskbar. Note that ICO files, in particular compressed ICO files, may not display consistently on all Windows platforms. Both of PNG and ICO file types are easily created in many image editor applications.

The size of the Installer Logo image is 620px (w) by 420px (h) because it fills the size of the Installer Window. The image should be transparent with the logo placed where it will appear in the window. The default iPass logo is 123px (w) by 139px (h), and it is placed 20px from left and 18px from the bottom of the Installer Window.
