Install a theme on RDS 2012

Back up the default files and install a Quick Theme on RD Web Access on RDS 2012.

This page shows how to install a Quick Theme on Remote Desktop Services (RDS) 2012. It covers RD Web Access.

Your theme download includes a PDF install guide with the same steps. Follow the PDF guide during installation and use this page as a quick reference.

Before you begin#

  • Download your theme package (a ZIP file) for RDS 2012. Themes are version specific, so a theme for another RDS version won't work.
  • Sign in to the RD Web Access server with an account that can change files in C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\.

Install the theme on RD Web Access#

Back up the default RD Web Access files#

Make a backup first, so you can restore the default RD Web Access interface if anything goes wrong.

  1. On your RD Web Access 2012 server, open C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\.
  2. Copy the Pages folder to a safe place on the server or on your network.

Copy the theme files#

  1. Unzip your theme package.
  2. Open the Custom-Theme\RDWeb\Pages\ folder.

  3. Select the folder of each language you use (for example en-US), and the files CustomScript.js and SiteLayout.xsl.

    The theme's Pages folder with the en-US language folder, customscript.js and SiteLayout.xsl selected

  4. Copy the selected folders and files.

  5. Open C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages\.

  6. Paste the folders and files. If Windows asks about files with the same name, select Copy and Replace.

    The Copy File dialog in C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages asking to replace SiteLayout.xsl, with Copy and Replace highlighted

Open your RD Web Access URL in a browser. You see the new theme.

Troubleshooting#

  • Windows is on a different drive. This guide uses C:\ because it is the most common system drive. If Windows is installed on another drive, use that drive letter instead.
  • Your changes don't show in the browser. This is usually the browser cache. Do a hard refresh or clear the browser cache, then reload the page.
  • Something went wrong. Restore the backup of the default files you made before installing. Always back up the default interface files before you install a theme, customize it or apply an update.
