Updated Header & Sidebar
Summary
As part of an upcoming platform update, we're making the following changes:
- The available colour theme options are changing. Existing colour themes will be automatically migrated where needed, so no action is required from administrators.
- If you're using the Header layout, this will be migrated to the Sidebar layout.
- Your company name will now display in the platform.
- The logo options in Company Edit are expanding, allowing you to set a sidebar logo, company display name, and top navigation logo separately.
See the sections below for full details on each change.
Colour Theme Mapping (Sidebar Layout)
Previously, the Platform Colour Theme screen offered 10 colours, alongside the Header and Sidebar layout options:
Now, the Platform Colour screen offers 6 colours. Note that Grey is now labelled Default:
If you're already using the Sidebar layout, your colour theme is migrated as follows:
| Current Colour | Migrated Colour |
|---|---|
| Grey | Grey |
| White | Grey |
| Black | Grey |
| Green | Green |
| Teal | Green |
| Blue | Blue |
| Navy | Blue |
| Purple | Purple |
| Red | Red |
| Orange | Orange |
Layout and Colour Mapping (Header Layout)
If you're currently using the Header layout, your layout will be migrated to Sidebar, and your colour theme will be remapped as follows:
| Current Colour | Migrated Colour |
|---|---|
| Grey | Grey |
| White | Grey |
| Black | Grey |
| Green | Green |
| Teal | Green |
| Blue | Blue |
| Navy | Blue |
| Purple | Purple |
| Red | Red |
| Orange | Orange |
Company Name
Your company name has now been included as part of this update. If you'd like to change it, you can do so from Company Edit.
Logo Changes
The Platform Customisation options in Company Edit have also been expanded to give you more control over your branding.
⚠ Important: if your logo has a white background, it may not be visible against the new colour themes. Please upload a logo with a solid or coloured background before the migration takes place.
Previously, only one logo option was available:
- Company Logo: appears in the top navigation. Max 150x55px.
Now, three separate options are available:
- Sidebar Logo: a square image (1:1 ratio, max 150x150px) that appears above your company name in the sidebar.
- Company Display Name: a text field showing your company name at the top of the sidebar.
- Company Logo: unchanged, still appears in the top navigation. Max 150x55px.
Note: the home icon appears by default in the sidebar until you set a sidebar logo.
