The title bar is created in: org.jboss.portal.theme.impl.render.div.DivDecorationRenderer.render() which calls org.jboss.portal.theme.impl.render.div.DivDecorationRenderer.renderTriggerableActions() which in turn places an icon for every valid action. The valid actions are maintained by the class org.jboss.portal.theme.page.WindowContext which in turn is initialized by this statement in the *-object.xml file: <supported-window-states> | <window-state>normal</window-state> | <window-state>minimized</window-state> | <window-state>maximized</window-state> | </supported-window-states> So the first step would appear to be adding to the supported states, and updating the css to reference the icons (example: the "help" state creates an anchor with class "portlet-mode-help", and in the css this class references image images/help.gif ). If you look at the code I mentioned, you will notice that the states are divided into "mode" and "windowstate" states. I have not dug deep enough to determine how to get a new state mapped to one of these. Hopefully this will get you far enough to at least know where to look. Disclaimer: I have not tried this so I do not know if it will even work. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4179434#...
