It’s expected that the E-Business Suite Release 12 will feature an updated user interface, codenamed “Project Swan.”  Aside from the unfortunate implication that the existing 11i user interface is an ugly duckling, Project Swan has some very appealing new aspects:

Project Swan Overview:

  1. Background pattern for branding
  2. Base font change to Tahoma 9pt
  3. Button style change
  4. Background color change
  5. Tab style sub-tab layout with gradient background
  6. Gradient background for header
  7. Icon change
  8. Table color update
  9. Gradient background for footer
  10. Vertical spacing change
