Easy Customizing/Branding The Citrix Receiver for Web

A couple months ago I made a post about customizing the cloud gateway.The real name for that product is Citrix Receiver for Web and is part of the StoreFront Express. Digging deeper in the Receiver for Web I found that it is really easy to modify the appearance of that site. You don’t have to change all the original files. Only just one.

Terry Duchastel has made a very clean and easy how-to about branding the site. I’ve borrowed some elements from that post and put it in this simple CSS Winking smile He has made a couple of links in the logon page for helpdesk purpose. That part is skipped (because I don’t want to change the default html structure). The only thing with that type of branding, is that it will be gone when an upgrade is performed. Sad smile

Citrix made the structure of the site so that it first reads it’s default CSS and at the end all custom settings. Due to this way we only need to change the file named: custom.style.css

There is always a demand for the Fokke and Sukke Web Interface, that I made just for fun a long time ago. I don’t have the sources for this anymore. This is not gone happen again Winking smile.

Paste this CSS structure into C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\StoreWeb\contrib\custom.style.css (Assuming default installation) and refresh your Receiver or Web Winking smile

All images are hosted on my site. I know that isn’t the way it should be, but it’s more to see how easy it is to change the appearance. Smile
