Design Features
You can make amendments to the design of your platform using the Look and Feel settings in the Admin area. Here's a quick guide to the ways you can customize your platform:
Design Modes
Choose between the traditional and angular view of design mode 1, or the rounded and modern feel of design mode 2. (Find out more about the differences here!)
Colors
Submit your primary, secondary and tertiary colors.
- To customize your primary, secondary and tertiary colors, head to the Theme tab in Look and Feel.
- Keep the hex codes handy, as these can be pasted in.
- Your color scheme will be visible throughout the application, but there are some non-customizable areas! The color and font of all text is fixed.
Logo and banner
Personalize the header with your own logo and background image. (Your logo and banner can be uploaded via a SharePoint link.)
When choosing a banner, bear in mind that any tagline added will appear in white.
To maximize your logo, the image should be 640px by 340px.
A perfect banner size is 1404px by 360px. If the banner does not fit these dimensions, block colors or repeatable patterns are easy and effective!
Tagline
Make your platform instantly recognizable with a bold tagline.
Custom CSS
Cheat the system by applying your own Custom CSS and transforming additional aspects!
What's the Difference Between Design Modes 1 and 2?
Design Mode 1
The main visual feature of design mode 1 is straight lines and angular corners. This is the sharper and more traditional option.
At a glance, it shows more information on categories of ideas and challenges, as well as details on challenge and idea owners.
Test both modes through the admin panel, within the Theme tab of Look and Feel.
Design Mode 2
The new and modern sister of mode 1, mode 2 is a simple design with rounded edges and clean icons.
It provides a more focused view, with the option to expand the panel within ideas and challenges.
