Specifying different stylesheet in URL to customize ReportManager interface

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide insight into this...

I am trying to specify a different stylesheet (other than ReportingServices.css) in the URL for running the ReportManager application; I am using the "rstylesheet=<stylesheetname>" parameter in the URL. However, it seems that no matter which format of stylesheetname I use (i. e, just the stylesheet file name with no extension, stylesheetname + ".css" extension, "/reports/styles/<stylesheetname>", etc.), the ReportManager application only uses the built-in ReportingServices.css stylesheet.

Is there some "magic" to specifying the name of an alternate stylesheet with the "rstylesheet" URL parameter, or does this just not work

Thanks again!

Thanks for the response, John.

My follow-up question would be: what, if anything, is the use of the "rstylesheet" URL parameter Since I can't find many references to it on the web or in the MSDN, I'm assuming it may be a red herring( ) Is it supposed to be used like the "rctylesheet", for customizing the HTML Viewer

Thanks again.

Just wondering if anyone knows what the use of the "rstylesheet" URL parameter is and if so, how to use it correctly to customize the appearance of the Report Manager...

Thanks again for any assistance.

There is no such parameter. There are some references on the web, I think they are typo's though.

You can modify a stylesheet in the ReportManager virtual directory, but it only allows very moderate customization.

If you really want to develop a portal, you might want to consider using Sharepoint (with the sharepoint integration mode we added in RS2005 SP2) which has a bit more customization functionality than report manager, or rolling your own custom portal by querying the SOAP endpoint. You should be able to do everything Report Manager does since all it uses is the SOAP endpoint.
