background color / text

Post by Sbergonzi »

With dashboards, the background color can be changed. My question is regarding text as a background. Our networking team had the thought of the ability to add text to the background...similar to the word DRAFT across the background in a document. It would note this is the EAST group of servers and WEST groups.

Is something like that possible?

thank you!

What do you mean by the background? What pages specifically? Have you taken a look at the custom logo component?:

Yes, I set up the custom logo component. That went fine. The users have dashboards mainly and some views. With dashboards, the background color is optional though nothing else. I've had requests to change more regarding fonts and dashlet colors.

Also, one person asked if a text image can be placed as a background. Similar to how you can add "draft" to a MSWord document they were interested in doing the same to a view, noting "east region".

Does that make sense (well that is in making sense in terms of understanding the request vs if it can actually be done).

Using a text image as a background is not possible at the moment. You can post a feature request on our bug tracker here, or I can post one for you if you want me to. Thank you!

Thank you for the information. I can post that request. Is there a CSS or something like it that can be modified to support the overall look & feel?

You are certainly more than welcome to track the page source to find where it is being generated/drawn and modify that. Though most changes would be reverted when an upgrade is done to XI, so you'd need to back up what changes you make. You could also use something like Greasemonkey to dynamically load JS on page starts from the clientside.
