Theme Editor and Branding

Overview

The Theme Editor lets you select your brand, button and link colors, and apply these changes to all of your communities through your root community with one click.  Whether you are uploading a logo or changing the branding colors within your instance, the Theme Editor is the place to access all branding options.

How it Works

All branding options are located in a panel accessed via Administration > Display & Branding > Theme Editor. This feature is available to Administrators and Super Administrators. Super Administrators can additionally apply the root theme to all communities and challenges.

All modifiable elements have a color picker which allows hex colors to be entered into the panel before an instant preview is generated. If a change is added to the main community, it can be pushed out via the master configuration per the other design elements.

The default background color is white.

Instant preview panel sections allow you to select your branding options and then preview how they will look, without the need for page refreshes or separate windows.

This default and unchangeable font type is called Proxima Nova. 

           

NOTE

Header color and logo, which can be modified via Theme Editor, also appear on the login page.
