Can I customise the FrameMaker home/launch page?

Question

Running (Structured) FrameMaker 2022.Our organisation has defined a structured application which is the first entry in structapps.fm. Unfortunately when a user launches FrameMaker they see a home page which offers a high level menu (Open, Restore, Connect, Browse), a list of recent items, and a tableau of Create a New Document options. The first seven options relate to DITA 1.3, and a user has to click on the eighth ("Other XML") and pick our application from the list of possibilities offered there.I would like to customise this part of the home page so that the options for our structured application appear first, but I haven't been able to discover how to do this. If there's a section for it in maker.ini I couldn't see it.Is there a way to promote our application to the front page? I don't want to supplant DITA in the rest of the world - just in  our organisation &#128521;CheersT

Hi,

Yes. You can customize the welcome screen. It's described briefly in the online help. There is an HTML page which you have to adapt.

You can also search in this forum for keywords like welcome screen customize.
