You may need to reapply the changes. Did you do that?

Hello,

a bunch of things were changed in Splunk 6 GUI - and so the CSS classes (from Splunk 5) won't work anymore!

You have to look at the classes (via Firebug, etc.) and change them in your CSS!

Here is a little overview of some new classes (for the header)

Level 1:

.header class contains .navbar & .app-bar

Level 2:

.navbar class contains .navbar-inner with subclasses .nav & .nav.pull-right

.app-bar class contains .nav & .app-name .pull-right

Here is a smal code-block, you might use :

 /* 1. Headers */
.header { background-color:#032644!important; }

/* 1.1. APP-bar in Header */
.app-bar { background:#fff !important; }

.app-bar .nav-pills>li>a { color:#5379af; }

.app-bar .nav-pills>li>a:hover { color:#032644; }

.app-bar .app-name { line-height: 40px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 200; color:#5379af; }

.app-bar .pull-right { background-color:#fff; }

/* 1.2. NAVI in Header */

.nav { background:#fff; color:black; }

.navbar .navbar-inner { background: #1f6cae; }

.navbar .nav.pull-right { background-color:#fff; }

.navbar .nav>li>a { color: #fff; background: #032644; }

.navbar .nav>li.active.dropdown>a.dropdown-toggle:hover,.navbar .nav>li>a:hover{
 color:#ffffff;background:#1f6cae;border-left:1px solid #111;border-right:1px solid #111;
}

.navbar .nav>li>a.active { background: #1f6cae; border-left: 1px solid #111; border-right: 1px solid #111; }

.nav-footer { background: #fff; color: #333; }

Hope that helps ....

Hi Andrew, you can create a new (CSS)File within your $Splunkhome$/etc/apps/$App$/appserver/static context.

Eg. custom.css and bind that within your XML-Dashboard:

<dashboard stylesheet="custom.css">

Please mind following links, when migrate Splunk 5 to Splunk 6 :
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/AdvancedDev/Migration

and

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.1/AdvancedDev/UseCSS

hope that helps, Robert

This is correct. However, you should use a HEX value, such as "#0000FF", and NOT the english word for the color.
