Override colors for "Favorite icons" in ui16

Hello all,

We recently upgraded our test instance to Istanbul and activated UI16. I noticed that in UI16 the "favorite icons" colors are not Section 508 compliant because of the color contrast with the colors and our application navigator background #cdcdcd/#ffffff. I was wondering if there is a way to edit these colors and if so we would like to change it for all users.

I already clicked on the pencil and tried the colors below but there still isn't a contrast.

Hi,



You can change the colors by updating the system property glide.ui.nav.colors



Default value:



glide.ui.nav.colors = ["purple","blue","cyan","aquamarine","green","yellow","orange","burnt-orange","red","pink","fuschia","white"]




Hope this helps.



Thanks


Naveen


Hi Naveen,



This definitely helps, thank you! Do you know if I can add the colors in hex format instead of plain text?



Thanks


Grace


I tried editing the colors but it shows as a blank space. See screenshot below:

That is an odd property.   You can only enter a maximum of 12 colors, which is fine. but it only recognizes some built-in set of colors.   "Yellow" is definitely NOT the normal yellow that you would see and "burnt-orange" is not even a standard color name.



It really should accept the standard color names as well as the RGB and hex notations so you could add any color you want.
