How to Change Application Theme and Branding

This article will explain how to change the application theme, the login page appearance, the logo, and the favicon. You can also watch our video that covers this topic.

Theme #

Tailor the visual elements of the application to meet your requirements. Adjust the application theme, login page appearance, logo, favicon, text, and language. On this page, you can customize the application theme. By default, the GetCertified default theme is applied, but you can create new themes according to your needs and branding.

On this tab, you can:

  1. View the list of already created themes. The Default column shows which theme is set as the default theme. The Active column displays themes marked as active. The System column identifies system themes that are always present in the application and cannot be deleted.
  2. Create a new theme.
  3. Apply one of the already created themes.
  4. Edit an existing theme.
  5. Delete a theme.

To create a new theme:

  1. Enter the Name of a new theme.
  2. Select the Set as default option if you want the currently selected theme to become the default theme applied when users log in to the application. Note that only one theme can be set as default at a time. If another theme was previously set as default, enabling this option on another theme will turn off the default setting on the previous theme.
  3. To set a theme as the default, it must also be marked as Active.
  4. Set the theme as Active, and it will appear in the list of themes on the user’s profile, allowing them to choose it for their profile. The default theme is applied if no other theme is selected in the user’s profile. If the theme is not set as Active, it will not be displayed on the user’s profile.
  5. Adjust theme colors.
  6. Select between detailed 3D icons, or simple flat icons.
  7. You can adjust the font size by dragging the circle to the right if needed.
  8. Click the Create button.

  6. Change grey color – Customize the shades of grey used in the application; for example, all hints, tab names, and menu names will be changed according to these color shades.
  7. Click the Invert grey scale button to change the colors by inverting the grayscale values. When you invert the grayscale, the darkest areas become the lightest, and vice versa.
  8. Change menu color – The background color of the main menu.
  9. Change background color – The background colors, such as the colors of the pages, tabs, and header names.
  10. Change white color – The interior color of buttons, dropdown menus, tab headers, the background of odd table rows, etc.

  12. Change white icon color – The color of white icons, for example, icons for menu titles.
  13. Change accent color – The color of even rows in the table and the background of introductory texts on the Question pools and Training courses pages.

  15. Change hover accent color – The colors used when hovering over input or dropdown fields.
  16. Change disabled accent color – The accent color used for fields that cannot be changed.
