The General Image Resources tab contains a list of icons and images used in TRACCESS CI. Some of these images can be changed to more adequately represent your company. Most of the images, however, are icon graphics connected to a function in the application. Because changing these images can have a significant effect on the functionality of the application (not to mention, these changes will not be reflected in the help files), please read the precautionary note on the Modify Image Lists page before making any changes.
Change the Look of TRACCESS CI to Reflect Your Company
Language Dropdown Menu: Choose a language from this dropdown menu to customize images for specific languages.

Left Pane (List of images): Displays the list of General Image Resources images.
Image Preview Window: Displays the selected image from the Left Pane or shows a preview of the new image selected.
TRACCESS CI can be customized to more adequately reflect your company. These images are not linked to a functionality and can be changed without having an affect on the functionality of the application or the help files. There are five images in the General Image Resources list that will allow you to do this:
These images can be changed for each installed language—English, French, Spanish, Thai, etc., can have their own images. If you change the images, there is no button to reset to the defaults; however, the default images have been provided as a link on this page.
Please Note: Simply logging out of the application and logging back in will not reflect the changes. The application must be closed completely before the changes will be reflected on screen.
Each image has its own specifications and features to be aware of. Ensure that your replacement image matches the size and transparency, if applicable, of the default image.
The dimensions of the login background image must be 682 x 330 pixels. If a larger image is inserted, it will be cropped. If a smaller image is inserted, it will be tiled.
The dimensions of the blank employee picture are 150 x 200 pixels. If a smaller image is inserted, it will be stretched to fit the width of field. If a larger image is inserted, it will be compressed to fit the width of the field. TRACCESS CI does not have a default Blank Employee Picture.
The dimensions of the Help About image are not as set as the Login Background, although there are still things to watch for. The default image is 360 x 60 pixels. The space provided on this dialog allows for an image up to 470 x 70 pixels. If your image is smaller than the default, the image will be centered in the space provided. If it is larger than 470 x 70, the image continues to overlap the dialog, but can only be seen beside the field containing the version information.
The report header image is fully customizable, allowing you to change both the left and right side of the header. These image settings contain a default or "hidden" image—this means that even if you clear the image with the Clear Image... button, the default image will always appear in the header.
For example, the graphic below appears in the top left corner of all reports by default.
Clicking on Set image... allows you to choose a new graphic, such as the logo of your company. In the image below, you can see that the logo, "Universal Enterprises," does not fit the recommended size specifications. Black was added (which can done in an external program) to make up the size. The same can be done with the right-side header image.
Below is an example of a report header. The right header displays the new company logo, and the right side has not been changed, so it displays the default/hidden image.
Note: Your new images will only appear in new reports your generate. Any previously generated reports will contain the old images.
The left image must be 191 x 41 pixels; its default/hidden image is the TRACCESS CI logo. If a larger image is inserted, it will be compressed to fit the width of the field. If a smaller image is inserted, it will be stretched to fit the width of the field.
The right-side image must be 144 x 36 pixels; its default/hidden image is the TTG Systems logo. If a larger image is inserted, it will be compressed to fit the width of the field. If a smaller image is inserted, it will be stretched to fit the width of the field.
