Curious. When I try it, system properties like

$(user.home)

$(phoebus.home)

$(phoebus.install)

are all expanded in the color_files or font_files setting.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Phoebus settings.ini - Path to predefined Colors and Fonts

Dear all,

I'd like to add custom colors and fonts in Phoebus.

If I specify the full path, e.g. (Windows)

  org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=C:\\Program Files\\mesa-phoebus-win\\app\\mesa_color.def
  org.csstudio.display.builder.model/font_files=C:\\Program Files\\mesa-phoebus-win\\app\\mesa_font.def

or (Linux)

 org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=/home/mesa/phoebus-product/mesa_color.def 
 org.csstudio.display.builder.model/font_files=/home/mesa/phoebus-product/mesa_font.def

This works as expected.

Yet I'd like to use relative paths as I've successfully used jpackage to build installers for Windows and Linux. 

Without success I've tried

  org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=$(phoebus.install)/mesa_color.def
  org.csstudio.display.builder.model/font_files=$(phoebus.install)/mesa_font.def

Other spellings,

  ...=./mesa_color.def
  ...=./mesa_font.def

where $(phoebus.install) should point to the correct path as "site_welcome.html" is in the same path and works as expected (Also Help->About->Details->System Properties show phoebus.install).

Do you know how to achieve this?

Best regards
Simon
