So the behavior of storing font information in the .activiti file is default Graphiti behavior.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>What we could do is make the color and font size editable in a preferences page.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Is this something you would be willing to contribute?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:11:23 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-style-of-tasks-via-the-designer/m-p/74356#M48694 trademak 2011-09-22T07:11:23Z Re: Changing the style of tasks via the Designer https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-style-of-tasks-via-the-designer/m-p/74357#M48695 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would be interested to contribute this to the Designer.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I don't have any experience with developing Eclipse plugins, though.

If you don't have any experience with developing Eclipse plugins this will not be an easy task.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>A rough guess would be that you need around 40 - 60 hours to implement this including all the learning steps.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>If you are able to invest this amount of time I would suggest looking at vogella.de for an introduction into Eclipse plugins.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Then you could take a thorough look at the Activiti Designer code. If you need pointers then let me know.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>The org.activiti.designer.eclipse project contains a number of Preferences pages that you can take a look at.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Sep 2011 10:31:03 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/changing-the-style-of-tasks-via-the-designer/m-p/74358#M48696 trademak 2011-09-22T10:31:03Z
