Hi,

 

I need to update the navigation header color on platform and we are using Polaris. I have created a new style and theme as mentioned in this article and it is not working:

Hi @sath,

 

to update branding in most of the platform you can achieve that through Theme Builder

With that, you can create variants of the same e.g. light x dark theme so more options are allowed and users can select as per their preferred palettes. Existing themes can be selected as following:

But if you want to adjust simply the banner, then you can go to Basic Configuration UI16 and change it from there - be careful, the change will be global for all the users.

 

Type "UI16" to access this and make that change easily:

Hi @GlideFather , Thank you for the update. I have updated the Header background color on Basic Configuration UI16 already and that wasn't working either.
