FM-14.0.2.425: modified Welcome screen does not display

Question

In the Welcome screen I have just modified 1 line to get the "Restore Last Session" with a more prominent button.

I changed line 37 from ... class="button tertiary"... to ...class="button"...

But FM-14 insists to use the original version - although the modified version is named welcome.html and the original one is named welcome-ori.html.

Neither Windows restart, nor clearing Temporary Internet Files helped. The file displays as expected in FireFox or IE 11.

Where the heck does FM get the orginal file from? (I have never heard of an FM-temp folder)

In the initial version (14.0.0.361) I did not have this problem, but don't remind whether it existed in 14.0.1.406.

Hi Klaus,had you seen that a customized Welcome Screen has to be in appdata (since Update 1).See more details here:2017 Release of FrameMaker (Update 1) – TechComm Central by Adobe Cheers,*Stefan.

To clarify, the file used by Fm 14.0.1 and higher is %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\14\resources\welcomeScreen\

Stefan, can you please confirm this?

I was able to edit this file and successfully customize my Welcome Screen.

**As with any customizations, you should make backup copies of the original files, just in case.

Here's what I did by commenting out a few lines in the HTML file, and modifying the styles.css in that same directory
