Launchpad Configuration & Theming

What specifically makes UI Theme Designer a 'cross-theming' tool — i.e. why can one custom theme cover more than just Fiori?

You need to recolor every tile icon in the launchpad to a single brand color. Quick theming exposes colors/fonts/images/logo but no per-element icon control. What gets you there, and what is the catch?

Task lists already appear on your NetWeaver 7.4 SP 06 system, but a colleague's system shows Fiori task lists yours is missing. What release level actually unlocks the full set?

When building the Z-copy of the end-user FLP role, an admin grants all five FLP OData services 'to be safe.' Why is that wrong, and which two does the end-user role actually get?

You want a custom logout screen for the launchpad. Setting the redirect URL on Error Pages -> Logoff Page alone doesn't take effect. What step is missing?

An admin wants maximum control over the production launchpad theme and picks Expert theming plus the color palette in UI Theme Designer. Why is that a mistake, and what should they use instead?

You copy SAP_UI2_ADMIN_700 and SAP_UI2_USER_700 to Z-roles in PFCG and generate profiles, but the launchpad admin still hits authorization errors. What did the copy-and-generate miss?

A theme is saved and built. You want to verify it looks right before making it the default for everyone. How do you preview it without changing the default?

A branding team asks for a 'completely custom, from-scratch' Fiori theme. Why can't UI Theme Designer do that, and what does it actually produce?

Which ICF nodes must be activated in SICF for the SAP Fiori launchpad to work?

Among the FLP OData services, which one does the launchpad itself use at runtime versus the ones only the designer needs — and why does that distinction matter?

FLP admin role generation produces incomplete authorizations even though you activated the OData services. What background artifact must exist first, and where do you verify it?

On the ABAP front-end server, what is the first step of Fiori launchpad configuration, and why does it come before role and ICF work?

From which release can task lists automate launchpad setup, and which two task lists do the core work (configure the launchpad vs activate its OData services)?

You replace the launchpad login screen via SICF on the ushell service with class /UI2/CL_SRA_LOGIN, but the launchpad designer still shows the standard logon. What did you forget?

The launchpad designer is not just the launchpad with admin rights — it has its own URL. What is the URL pattern, and what does scope=CUST control?

After building a custom theme, where do the artifacts live and how do applications actually load the theme at runtime?

A 2013-era guide says base your custom theme on SAP Belize. Why is that stale, and what is the current default theme line?

When running a configuration task list, what do you do before and after running it that's easy to skip — and which transaction shows the result of a backgrounded run?

You finished a theme in /UI5/THEME_DESIGNER and need to transport it to the next system. Which transaction do you use, and why isn't it the designer?

You automate Fiori configuration with task lists run via STC01. Which task lists cover the key setup steps (Gateway basics, launchpad, trusted connection, search, system connections, OData activation, ICF nodes)?

You set the custom theme as launchpad default via /UI2/NWBC_CFG_SAP. After the next support-package patch users report the standard theme is back. What happened and what's the recurring task?

Users see the old launchpad UI after an upgrade. A colleague says 'turn off browser caching with Cache Buster.' What does Cache Buster actually do, and why is that framing wrong?
