Ways to customize Here™ Core UI Components

Here™ Core UI Components provides default settings for components, but you can customize many of them to meet your organization's requirements. Here's what you can do.

Work offline​

Here Core UI apps and components require a connection with the Here™ CDN the first time a desktop starts a Here Core UI platform. Thereafter, however, Here Core UI platforms can run offline, relying entirely on the Runtime cache. The cache path looks like C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\OpenFin\cache\26.102.70.14\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage\{APP_HASH}.

Create custom themes​

You can customize the colors of the user interface components used in Browser, Home, and Store by defining and registering a theme for a Here Core UI platform.

For more information, see Here Core UI themes with color-picking.

You can also define the colors that are used for interoperable context sharing with color linking. See Interoperability in Here Core UI.

Customize search results in Home​

You can write your own templates to customize the way search results appear in Home. See Customize search results in Home.

Create custom storefronts to display in Store​

Your platform can include your own content storefronts (storefront providers) to display in Store. See Store overview.

Customize Browser features​

In Here Core UI Components 6.0 and later, you can customize the behavior of Browser elements, the entire window and its elements, the page or pages within a window and their elements, and the toolbar and its elements and options. See Customize Browser features.

Customize workspace management in Browser​

In Here Core UI Components 7.0 and later, users can save, rename, or delete a workspace, and switch workspaces. Developers can also control whether users can save workspaces or workspace elements (pages or views).

See Workspace management in Browser.

Customize user interactions with workspaces​

Starting in Here Core UI Components v12.6, you can disable the confirmation dialog that appears when users switch workspaces. You can also keep a specified workspace open when users switch to a different workspace. See Options for switching workspaces.
