I am also trying to put a simple window in the header. Thanks for this thread - it has already saved me a lot of time. I have a portlet which behaves as needed. I removed the decorations and created an instance above the navigation as described here. I've gone through the JBoss Portal Reference Guide (2.4) and see a lot of information on themse and layouts, but it is still unclear to me what some of the parameters (e.g. UL#tabsHeader li ) actually do. Questions: 1. How can I make the portlet smaller? It seems to go across the entire screen, when I only want it to be 210X110 px? 2. How can I move it to the right instead of center? Do I need to use a three column layout or is the header separate from that? 3. How do I hide/remove the edit/minimize/maximize options in this portlet? I am planning on modifying the theme, as opposed to creating a new one. Sorry, if these are basic questions. Thanks.
