Customize header and navigation bar

Can somebody point me in the right direction to create a custom header (my own logo, for example) and navigation bar (to my "sub-applications") for my application?

I think I will be using one of the WebStyle>>pageFrameWith:title: methods, but I just don't quite get it yet.

A related question is how you create links to other separate "applications" within your "primary" application? Do you have to create a separate site for each one, or simply create links to their domain objects and set the preferred url? I have tried this with the tab control, and can only seem to go "one way." That is, I can get to another application, but can't seem to link back to the first one.

In particular I will have many singleton objects for my application (many "worklists" representing grouped accounts that will not change regardless of who is looking at them) that I would want to link to from a standard navigation bar.

These are hard questions to ask in an email!

Thanks,

Rob

You should make a subclass of WebStyle, and look at navBar* methods, and
navigationBarElement.

For the header, look at headerElement.

Then change the styleClass with:
(AidaSite named: 'foo') styleClass: #MyWebStyle

I hope this helps,

Nico
