30 Second CSS Tweak to Improve the Look of Studio Portlets in Oracle WebCenter Interaction

If you missed the memo that WebCenter Interaction's Studio product is no longer supported by Oracle, and that there are some fairly cost effective alternatives then you might be interested in this 30 second CSS tweak to make your Studio portlets look a hair more attractive!



The inner table border and background color of Studio portlets is controlled by the PTSFormFieldSet in the portal stylesheet.  While you could choose to hide or customize these on a per portlet basis the problem is that Studio portlets don't allow you to add HTML code, so you are forced to either add an extra entry to the CSS file, or to add a custom or Publisher portlet to the page which will override the style.  If you want to go that route use something like:
<STYLE type="text/css">
   .PTSFormFieldSet{border:none;background-color:transparent;)
</STYLE>


Otherwise, head on over to ptimages\imageserver\plumtree\common\public\css and make whatever adjustments necessary to this style:
.PTSFormFieldSet {
    background-color: #F6F6F6;
    border-color: #CCCCCC;
    border-width: 1;
    border-style: solid;
    margin: 10px;
}

This is the post-adjustment screen shot:
