Hello there!
I am working on a App I am willing to publish on Splunkbase.
I do like the dark mode one click feature so I try to adapt CSS colors based on currently applied theme, so that users will be able to pick dark theme without having light colors left on the dashboard.
It is working fine so far using a background rest search that checks for dashboard's theme and tokens.
However, I do use emojis in my dashboards and I have discovered that it makes the dark mode switch fail:
It might be a core issue so I guess I will have to live with it but I am posting there just in case anyone figured this out, maybe there is a way to escape / protect emoji or the like.
<dashboard theme="dark">
<label>Emoji Dark Mode</label>
<row>
<panel>
<html>
</html>
</panel>
</row>
</dashboard>
PS: Code renderer also seems to dislike emojis but there is one one emoji within html :
<html>
😐
</html>
Saw this and managed to create a workaround because I didnt like the cursor moving etc.
So I wrapped the function within a search macro and now the dark theme also works when you call the macro instead of having emojio embedded into your dashboard!
e.g.
eval $arg1$=case($arg1$==1,"🥇",$arg1$==2,"🥈",$arg1$==3,"🥉",1==1,$arg1$)
