Where is my App Navigation Bar Color in Splunk 7.1?

adonio — Sun, 06 May 2018 02:25:21 GMT

After upgrading to 7.1 i noticed that the color set in default.xml does not apply and the color of the App navigation bar is always the same Splunky greyish color, see screenshots of before and after below.
any idea how to fix?
thanks in advance!

@adonio it is an expected behavior of Splunk 7.1 to only apply color to App Icon and Selected Splunk App Menu/Menu Item. Even to the App Icon in the Splunk App Launcher Home page. Refer to attached screenshot where Red color is applied to App Icon using Navigation xml with color option <nav search_view="search" color="#DC4E41">

If you really want your the App's Bar to be colored you can do this for Dashboards using Simple XML CSS override as suggested by @alacercogitatus, https://answers.splunk.com/answers/645402/background-color-in-navbar-is-gone-in-71.html

You can change the color of this on all custom dashboards in an app by adding the following to the app's appserver/static/dashboard.css file:

.splunk-header.splunk-view.splunk-header.splunk-view > div[data-view="views/shared/appbar/Master"] {
    background-color: #742255;
}

@adonio, even I am trying to adjust the same 🙂 I feel this is a good change giving Splunk environment a consistent look where Splunk Apps can be easily distinguished using Icon Color.

Same as I asked for here:

Not sure if I am very happy with this change.
