How to globally change the default title color of Platform Analytics dashboard widgets?

Hi Community,

We are using ServiceNow Australia Patch 6 and would like to change the default title text color of all Platform Analytics dashboard visualizations to black (#000000).

Our requirements are:

  • The change should apply to both existing and newly created dashboard widgets.

  • Explicitly configured title colors must remain unchanged.

  • Individually configured header background colors must remain unchanged.

  • We want to avoid modifying each widget individually.

What we have investigated:

The title color is stored in par_dashboard_widget.widget_props as titleColor when explicitly configured.

However, many existing widgets do not have this property and use the default color.

Using browser DevTools, we identified the following component structure:

sn-par-visualization-header → sn-par-widget-header → now-heading

The default title color is currently rgb(111, 117, 130).

The heading uses the CSS variable:

--now-heading--title-tertiary--color

We also confirmed that now-heading receives its own inline value for this variable. Changing the variable on the parent sn-par-widget-header does not affect the title, whereas changing it directly on now-heading successfully changes the title to black.

Our question:

Is there an officially supported, upgrade-safe way to centrally configure the default title color for Platform Analytics dashboard widgets, without overriding explicitly configured user colors?

For example, is there a dedicated theme token, component default, or supported configuration for sn-par-widget-header?

We would prefer a central configuration rather than mass-updating par_dashboard_widget records or using custom CSS/DOM modifications.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Best Regards

Eugen
