Theme

The Theme section lets you modify the colors and images of your Public Portal site.

Colors

In the Colors tab, you can provide custom colors for your Public Portal website, allowing you to customize it to your own color scheme. For example, a university's website could be configured to match the school's colors. Most elements on the page can be customized in this way, including the page background, text and links, the top bar, borders, headers, and footers. To customize a color, select the option box next to the element you want to change. You can then use the color picker to select a color, or provide a hexadecimal color code. The background of the option box will change to the selected color, allowing you to see at a glance what colors have been configured.

You can preview the selected colors on the website by selecting the Preview link at the bottom. You can also select Reset to default colors to restore the Public Portal defaults.

Images

In the Images tab, you can add custom images to your Public Portal website, including logos and backgrounds. For example, a city government's website could include the city seal. To add an image to your site, select the Change button corresponding to the element you want to change: main logo, welcome page logo, banner background, details pane background, or toolbar background. You can then browse to the image on your computer. If you don't want to include an image for a specific element, you can select No image.
