Editing Color Themes

Prerequisites:
  • CMS 10.6 must be installed by a systems administrator. See CMS Statistics to check the site version.
  • A custom color theme must exist. The system prevents administrators from editing the Ingeniux Default color theme.
In Ingeniux CMS 10.6, administrators can create new color schemes to style the CMS user interface.

To create a color theme:

  1. Navigate to Administration > System Options > CMS > Themes.

    Select Existing Theme

  2. Select a color theme in the Theme drop-down list.
    The color theme displays in Themes.
  3. Optional: Enter color values in the color theme fields (P1, T3, etc.). Click the color in the correlating field to open the color picker. Choose one of the following steps:
    Note
    Each value corresponds to different objects in the CMS user interface. See Color Theme Reference for details to identify which fields associate with each object.
    • Use the color picker bar and spectrum to select a color.
      1. Drag the circle tool in the color bar to select the color.
      2. Drag the circle tool in the color spectrum area to select the shade of the color. The correlating color code displays in the dialog.
