Using the Classic Theme in JWF

If you are using a smaller monitor (less than 20 inches wide) with the Java Client, the screen can appear crowded with too many toolbars and wizard options when using the Themes views. As shown below, the Java Themes display with all the toolbar functions at the top of the screen so it is easier to move from one function to another. In the Themes view, wizards of the selected toolbar display down the left side of the window begining with Common Tasks as shown here. However this view can make it difficult to work in JWF when viewing it on smaller monitors. A change in the way you view Workflows can make the Java Client easier to use. If you select the Classic Theme the screen will display the wizards in much the same fashion as they appear in the C Client where you have more empty screen space in which to open multiple windows and move windows around.

To change the Themes view, click on Preference > Desktop > Desktop Setup to access the window that provides the options that will make this setup change possible.

Select the Classic view from the drop down menu next to Themes as shown below. Click OK. 

**You must log out and back into Workflows to activate this change.**

Above is the Classic view of a customized toolbar. It includes wizards for cataloging, serials, acquisitions, and circulation. The description of each wizard’s function is provided only in the balloon help you see when the cursor is on the wizard.

By creating a customized toolbar it is not necessary to right click at the end of the toolbar to select a different toolbar to move from one set of tasks to another.

If you don’t wish to create a customized toolbar, right click at the end of the toolbar and click on the option to "Select current toolbar" as shown below. This results in a drop down list from which you can select the toolbar you wish to use. The wizards of the new toolbar will display just as they do when using the C Client.

Note: If you do wish to create a customized toolbar consult WYLD Technote "Create a customized toolbar" found at http://will.state.wy.us/wyld/technotes/#java listed alphabetically under the section of technotes for Java Client Workflows.
