Are the colored "themes" gone for good with the "Next" UI?

Like the other developers on my team, I have counted on the different "theme" colors in ServiceNow to indicate what environment I am in. Red for Prod, Blue for Test, Green for Dev, etc. We are upgrading from Rome to Tokyo and it looks like the only theme options we have are "Dark" and "Regular"? I have done some google searching and can't find much on the subject. Being developers, I am sure a lot of the forum members have come up with some creative ways to indicate what instance they are in when clicking through the 12 open tabs in their browser.

Different Chrome sessions for each environment? Last Resort. Dark for Prod and Normal for sub environments? In a Pinch. Some small UI change that can be easily stored as XML and applied to the respective instances after clone downs and upgrades? Yes please...

Even better please tell me I have missed a config setting somewhere

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

Idk if you want to go this route, but I just created different banner announcements for my subprod environments. It has worked out fine

Hi Tom,

No, you need to add the Colors (and the Dark) style.   As you can see in the Polaris theme (as example).

JP - in the screen shot from my previous post I have the Dark, Acme, and Colors theme. So I should be covered, correct?

Hi Tom,  yes you are.   You may change the name ACME to the specific name of each of your instances, since they have different colors.

Thanks for trying JP but that didn't work in my PDI. Once I added "colors" to my theme, my colored top bar went back to the default. If I removed "colors", my top bar color came back but my check boxes no longer worked per the KB
