Hi all I'm a long time RHEV admin (since 2.1/2.2 days). I'm in the process of getting a dev workstation built to do some hacking to resolve some small issues that are explained below. 1) The business is moving to thin clients for specific users. We're using IGEL thin clients in appliance mode. We have a problem where if the user (in the User Portal) clicks on the "Client Resources" hyperlink, a new browse window comes up that the user cannot move or dismiss. I figure the easiest way to resolve this is to put a "Close" button on the Client Resources page. Would this be acceptable to the project?

2) In the power User Portal, VM descriptions are shown in parentheses. In the "normal" User Portal the description is not shown. I'd like to have the description shown in the normal User Portal also, maybe in parentheses on a new line between the VM name and the VM's icon. Is this acceptable to the project?

3) Lastly, the normal user portal shows the VM image and to get a console, a double click is required. This is pretty much universally hated by our users :( The Power User Portal single click is loved by our users but I don't want to to give them the added capabilities in the Power User Portal. Would it be acceptable to the project to change the double click to the same single click as in the Power User Portal?

Hi Colin, adding closing button to the 'console resources' page should be quite easy. 1, Open this file: /etc/ovirt-engine/branding/50-rhev-1.brand/applications/rhev.ear/rhev.war/WE B-INF/client-resources.jsp 2, somewhere in the page, add this code snippet: <button type="button" onclick="window.close()">Close page</button> (or you can use <a>, or whatever you like) ... and that should do the trick. If you want to have the button localized, you can do it by adding keys to resources files in /etc/ovirt-engine/branding/50-rhev-1.brand/applications/rhev.ear/rhev.war/W EB-INF/classes subdirectory. If there's anything else about this, feel free to contact me! Cheers, Franta.

The suggested method is to create your own branding package (possibly using the RHEV one as a base) and make the modifications that you want there. The branding packages are overlayed on top of each other, so if you make a new branding package your changes will be applied last. A good overview of how to make branding packages can be found on the ovirt wiki [1].

Hi Franta Nope, the JavaScript snippets didn't work, even ^W doesn't work. ^F4

closes all browser windows not just the client resources page. The IGEL runs FF 17 and Virt Viewer 0.5.2, all pretty old. We're expecting an update from IGEL which we're told will have Virt Viewer 0.5.6 (not sure what FF version it will have).
