UI16 - Background colors, work notes, and additional comments

Good afternoon,

Again my apologies for troubling everyone with these questions. The new UI16 seems to have made numerous changes as expected, but also no longer appears to be honoring any of the legacy methods for change. That makes sense and all, but I cannot seem to find where to change the UI16 properties like style. I have two problems currently that I am trying to solve, let me show you:

On the bottom of incidents, historically we had different colors for additional comments and also work notes. As you can see in the screenshot above, the background color for additional comments is no longer there. It also is not honoring any style changes that I put in; this could be due to the field / table I am selecting.

The second problem that I am trying to solve is the toggle for the "additional comments" notation. It currently is a mouse-over event (meaning, if you move your mouse over the field then it'll show, otherwise it won't). I know that if I override the default CSS, I can change it but I am hoping that this is something that is just a setting buried within the SN engine. Here is another screenshot showing the same behavior with work notes:

My questions are these:

- Without overriding the CSS; where do I configure the background color for these notes? They don't seem to honor the styles created for UI15 and older.

- Without overriding the CSS; where do I toggle the type of note so it always shows and doesn't require a mouse-over event?

I understand that it might not be possible to perform either of these actions without overriding the CSS, and if that is the case just let me know.

Also, just a heads up for everyone when you go into styles and change the "Work notes" background color it does not impact the above notes in any manner. The new layout seems to be related to live feed, so the field might be under those settings. I'll check that next.

Thank you!

A colleague of mine was able to locate how the background colors are being set:




glide.ui.activity_stream.style.comments


glide.ui.activity_stream.style.work_notes



Using the above glide records, you can set the background colors. We still do not know where or exactly how these scripts are being called, but we can at least modify them within the system and not needing to alter the CSS itself.



You can get to these by going to sys_properties.list

Thanks, I will give the solution a try and let you know if it works.


I tried this and it does not work.   It's only showing you how to reproduce the problem.   The fact remains that you can change the glide.ui.activity_stream.style.comments property to get the bar color but the background color is overwritten after save/reload.     I think this is a bug and needs to be addressed.   It's even overwritten if you make a client script, that really makes no sense at all to me.   We need the background color to stay at the color we set it.  



Please fix.

Has there been a solution to this issue?  We would like the Incident color for additional comments to always be green just like they are on tasks.
