Storefront Green Bubble Theme for Netscaler Access Gateway

The storefront gives us a nice green bubble front end making our Access Gateway black logon screen look very tired and also giving users a strange experience as they pass from a black screen into a green one.

To make the experience a little more continus you can add the green bubble default theme from storefront to your Access gateway with the following steps

1. Download the script file and theme to your PC, eg http://cdn.ws.citrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/GreenBubble.txt and http://cdn.ws.citrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/GreenBubble1.gz
2. SSH to your Netscaler (ie use Putty) and enter the ” shell” command
3. Run the following command:
mkdir /var/vpn/customizations
4. Use WinSCP to connect to your Netscaler. Copy the script file (GreenBubble.txt) to the /root folder and the GreenBubble1.gz file to /var/vpn/customizations
6. Run the following commands:
cd /var/vpn/customizations
gunzip GreenBubble1.gz
tar -xvf GreenBubble1
cd /root
mv GreenBubble.txt GreenBubble1.sh
chmod +x GreenBubble1.sh
./GreenBubble1.sh


thanks to a user who replied the details on how to do this on this blog article

I have seen a company that does fixed price customised interface should a customer ever require it
