Apply the Citrix Workspace theme to the NetScaler Gateway logon page

Last published : Sep 03, 2026
By default, NetScaler Gateway uses the RfWebUI portal theme, which matches the classic (unified UI) theme used by StoreFront versions 2311 CR and above. Before version 2311 CR, StoreFront had a single UI theme, which by default matches with the RfWebUI visual theme. NetScaler Gateway release 14.1 build 43.50 features a new portal theme that closely resembles the Citrix Workspace UI. You can either switch to the Citrix Workspace theme or create a custom theme to match the look and feel of Citrix Workspace and StoreFront's next generation UI.
