See also:          Ebase Startup Parameters

Installation preferences can be set by editing the installation preferences XML file. The location of the file is specified on the Ufs.installationPreferencesFileName parameter of the Ebase startup parameters.  The following preferences can be set:

• The list of fonts that can be selected using the template editor of the Ebase Designer
• The list of colours that can be selected using the template editor of the Ebase Designer
• Whether or not Ebase users can select colours using the colour chooser and type in colour codes (set to true in the supplied system)
• Whether or not Ebase users can type in font names (set to true in the supplied system)

The supplied XML file is shown below. If changes are made, the Ebase Server must be re-started.

Null entries or spaces cannot be specified for colour names. In addition, each colour name must be unique.
