    Cool [H] Custom Colors Question

     Hello all!

    I am new to relatively new to Method and have changed my colors in Method.  Even though I changed all 4 colors under customize display, the grids still are "Method Green" Smile.  Does anyone know how to change the grid colors?

    Thanks!

    Robin

    Re: Custom Colors Question

     Hello,

    I am having this happen to me also.  You can see in this screenshot:

    I have modified the display settings to Custom colors.

    The Section Bar and Grid Headers are still showing up in Method Green.

    Yet, when I go to edit the screen, it shows up in the Custom Colors.  However, publishing the screen reverts it back to the Method Green.

    Not sure why the Custom colors are not kicking in for the Section Bar and the Grid Header.

    This also happens when trying to use the other pre-configured options for example Traditional Blue.  The active tab color changes but the section headings etc. remain the default green.  This is with Full Blown Method.

    I have logged out and back in, but I haven't waited a couple days etc. to see if it is system refresh or cache'd data issue.

    Robin, Mario and James -

    I wanted to give you an update.  The dev team is still finalizing making some changes here, but here is what you can do in the meantime:

    1. Go to Customize > Display.

    2. Click Save Settings. This will force it to create the color scheme again.

    3. Sign out, sign back in.

    In my tests this solves the problem, except for calendars, which still can retain colors from the previous color scheme.  We're still working on that and will post back here when that is resolved.

    Re: Custom Colors Question

    Paul,

    Although Custom Colors is saving I noticed that I I enter in a HTML color value the color that is displayed is different. For example under if I change the Grid Header to #67b9c7 it actually displays #6ab3b4. These are two different colors and I am not suite show what the code is doing to come up with the outpur color. Is there a way to make the code output the color that is entered in?

    Thanks!

    Answer

    Hi jwarren,

    I'm unable to replicate what you're describing, ensure thay you paste the color code using capital letters but once you paste press the tab button since the color chart displays. Click Save Settings, navigate to the Tables/Fields tab link to ensure the Grid Header color has indeed changed, then sign out and sign back in. If the issue persists try logging in with a different browser to see if that makes a difference.
