Hi Everyone,
We just upgraded to Washington and when we use the polaris experience (set true at glide.ui.polaris.experience) the themes we previously used are gone. This is our test instance so we need the color them changed to the orange themes.(system theme) I noticed when I set Polaris to false the system color theme is available. We would like to move to Polaris but also have the unique theme (system) we previously set. Is this possible and does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have!
Thanks

Hi there,
Those themes are gone, you need to make your own in Themes Management of Now Experience UI:
Something to read: Exploring themes in Next Experience

Thank you @Priyanka_786 The instructions were very helpful! Just have 2 more questions:
1 How do I change the application navigator? I edited all options I was able to in the color generator. I would prefer if it was orange.
2 How do I set a default theme for everyone that logs in?

Glad it helped you !!
Answer to your questions.
For 1st one- Hope you have followed the same instructions mentioned in Blog link. Ideally it should work. If you restart browser once and try if its' refreshed. For Oragne color code you can use these code- #e07942. Attached screenshot for the same.
For 2nd one- refer the 4th last section of this HI Kb link- https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1120004#section7
Kindly mark helpful/accepted if it helps you in any way.
Regards,
Priyanka Salunke

Thank you for the feedback. I think we are getting close. I made the change to add the orange code to #e07942, cleared cache and still same issue. Attached and below is what was changed. Do I need to make any additional changes under the other tabs? Currently, I've just changed the framework tab.
thanks
