How To Change The Color Scheme

Colors have a big impact on the look of your community - think vibrant flower power, washed retro or duo-tone minimalistic. Get groovy and change the color scheme of your community with just a few clicks.
 

How to change the color scheme of your community

  1. Sign in to a community account with user role Community Manager or Administrator
  2. Click the purple Theme button and select Colors 
  3. Find the color you want to change and click the input field.
  4. Provide a color in HEX (e.g. #2AAAE1) or RGBa (e.g. rgba(42,170,225,0.90)) format. You can also pick a color with the color picker.
  5. Click Publish

Preview: When the color mode is active you can browse around to other pages of your platform to see how they are affected by the changes.

    If you just need a quick fix for a little bit of custom CSS though, some of the folks on inSpired might be able to help you out. I seem to recall @SmartlyGreg being an absolute wizard at that stuff. :)

    Heh, of course I need help. Just to be able to test things, to see does the idea improve usability and so on :) I assume this is small thing for someone who breaths CSS, I dont :D

    Hehehe, well I cannot say this next tip enough and I already know inSided will agree with me.

    If you have access to a Staging Instance, by all means please feel free to use that to experiment with Custom CSS to your hearts content! If you cause it to go kaboom, no worries! It’s just a staging instance.

    It’s available on all plans last time I checked and the Control URL for it should have been provided by inSided when you signed up. If you lost it, support can send it to you again.

    If you don’t seem to have one set up yet, Support can probably fix that for you.

    But whatever you do, please try to avoid testing experiments on the live community! Your users won’t like you if you do.

    Yeah, I know, I can test things but in order to test things you have know what and how and where. We dont have live inSided community yet so I am free to test everything with no problem.
