SDL Tridion UI / Experience Manager - Change Permissions Edit Button

Question

Is there a way to configure some settings around the "SDL Tridion" button that appears in the upper left corner of a published website?

I would like to go to the city:

• Change text from "SDL Tridion" to "Edit this page"
• Change the position on the page, for example. bottom right
• Change color, etc.

Thanks in advance.

You can take a look at the Tridion CMS skinning concept and apply it to the UI Experience Manager. You can find the TRIDION_HOME\web\WebUI\Editors\SiteEdit\Themes and maybe add new CSS to host the button, etc.

You can create a new css file, for example MyCustom.css , and place it under Defalt Carbon. After you have a new css file, you need to update the SiteEditEditor.cfg file in the TRIDION_HOME\web\WebUI\Editors\SiteEdit\Configuration to add a new css file for the theme. See the themefiles section in config.

To change the default label, you need to change the value of the EditorViewTitle data attribute in the Tridion.Web.UI.Editors.SiteEdit.Strings.resx file located in TRIDION_HOME\web\WebUI\WebRoot\App_GlobalResources .

** NOTE :: *** Please note that updating .resx files may not be supported or documented *.

I played with this while back, and I was pretty successful with shortcuts and themes, but did not pursue it, since it does not fully satisfy my needs.

CMS hiding is documented at: http://sdllivecontent.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL_Tridion_2011_SPONE/task_C4C14E4D601B4BE392ACE3B067426BB7

I do not have enough comments to make a comment, so I use the answer instead. Thanks Ram for the details. I just tried changing the shortcut of the SDL Tridion button, and I had to use the StartButtonLabel resource StartButtonLabel in Tridion.Web.UI.Editors.SiteEdit.Strings.resx to make it work. The EditorViewTitle label appears as the title of the browser page, not the start button.
