I changed my localhost and when i created a new app, my app's nav bar turned into this format and the color is black instead of the green one?

Is there a way to fix this?

It looks like your app does not have a navigation bar configured.
Have a look at this link: Add navigation to a Splunk app

Basically, to create your own navigation bar, you need to create the file etc/apps/myapp/default/data/ui/nav/default.xml. (Replace "myapp" with the name of your app.) The contents of this file should be something like this:

<nav search_view="search" color="#65A637">
    <view name="search" default="true" />
    <view name="data_models" />
    <view name="reports" />
    <view name="alerts" />
    <view name="dashboards" />
</nav>

Restart Splunk after creating this file. Now you should have a navigation menu.

Later you can edit the navigation menu directly via Settings/User interface/Navigation menus.

The top of the nav bar being black is quite normal - Do you mean the search bar has gone black? You can change this in your user preferences.

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
