Can a dashboard panel's shape be changed?

[roychen]

Hello,

Splunk's dashboard panels, as well as single values within the panels, have a rounded rectangle shape.

Is it possible to change the dashboard panel's, and/or the single value's shape, to a circle, for example, through a combination of Advanced XML and modifying application.css?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, through CSS. Whilst you wouldn't be able to change a div to a circle, you could certainly remove the borders and do some magic with background images or other border tricks to change the overall shape to be something else.

EDIT: I may have been slightly wrong.

Well, I thought my colleague would post an witty retort to my declaration that ITS IMPOSSIBLE!
Anyway, since he hasn't, heres the code to make a circular div, magic!

border-radius: 50% 50% 50% 50%;

padding: 13%;

Apply this as you need to whatever divs you like, also probably also worth testing it across browsers.

Thanks, Drainy.

I've tried playing around with it and it works.

I'm not good enough at CSS to figure out how to re-size and re-position the single values to small circles however, but I'll go check out how it's done.

For added lulz - round single values

.SingleValue {
background-size: cover;
border-radius: 50% 50% 50% 50%;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}

.singleResult {
position: relative;
top: 40%;
}

.singleLabel {
position: relative;
top: 40%;
}

triangles on the other hand ...
