    About this task

    As a category, all modal illustrations share color hook mappings. Color hook mappings link theme colors to specific parts of an illustration. As a result, the colors that you apply to one modal illustration type are also applied to the entire modal illustration category.
    Important:
    Configuring modal illustration colors applies to Workspaces and isn’t supported in the Core UI.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Now Experience Framework > Theme Builder.
      The Theme Builder landing page opens in a new tab and is displayed in the Home page view.
    2. Use the Page drop-down list to select the Editor page view.

    3. From the Theme drop-down list, select the theme that you want to edit.
    4. Select the Image styles tab from the general styles panel and expand Modals.
      The modal illustrations available for editing are listed by type on the main stage.
    5. Select any modal illustration type from the main stage.
      Note:
      Customizing the colors of any modal illustration type applies the color change to the entire modal category, regardless of which type you select.
      The property panel opens automatically.

      Note:
      The number of leading or supporting colors differs depending on the illustration category. For example, banner illustrations have one leading color, while modal illustrations have two leading colors. Leading colors are the main colors in the illustration and supporting colors are accents. They’re listed from most prominent to least.

    8. When you have completed your changes, select Save changes.
      Note:
      After you have saved changes to any of the color hooks, a Remove override symbol appears. The Remove override symbol enables you to revert your color changes back to the original auto-generated colors.
