Dashboard Themes Editor

Select Application Settings from the User Menu in the top right

The Application Settings page will only be visible if you have admin permissions.

The Dashboard Themes page view lets you control how different interface elements look for each dashboard. Orbit includes built-in System Themes and you can change which theme is used as the default theme when creating a dashboard.

You can create Custom Themes if necessary and set one of those as the default theme.

Creating a Theme

To create a theme:

2. Enter a Theme Name
3. Set the colour settings for Visualisations and Fonts and click Save Draft

4. You can enter a hex value directly for each element or click the colour icon to open the colour picker

In the preview area, you can see how each element looks.
