My CRM Manager publishes an alternative UI for Sage CRM called ‘Newport’. The 2-minute video below covers the highlights. Below we have provided (1) an overview, (2) instructions on how to apply it, (3) key changes, and (4) answers to FAQs.  

1. Overview of the Newport Theme

2. Adding or Removing the Newport Theme

For the Newport theme, the icons are all coming from a CDN, so the only thing you need to do is to apply a JS file to the the CRM folders.

The Java Script file can be downloaded from this https://project-newport.b-cdn.net/install-files/projectNewport-loader.js and should be pasted into folder \WWWRoot\js\custom

After loading this js file, please reset IIS.

If you want a custom logo to appear on your login screen, you will need to provide us with a png file. 

3. Changes with this theme

  • Swap in legacy icons where applicable
  • Created 50+ new icons to match the legacy icon style
  • Added blue as a default color platform wide instead of black
  • Reduced the usage of grey
  • Removed borders and drop shadows to make better use of the screen real estate
