Customizing the Colors on Your Space

This lesson will show you how to customize the colors on your ScreenSteps Live spaces without having to edit any HTML or CSS code. If you would like completely customize the look of your ScreenSteps Live space then you should use Custom Templates. But the method shown below is the quickest and easiest way to customize the look of your ScreenSteps Live space.

You can also add these color adjustments to your custom template. See here for more information.

Select Edit Space

Select_space

Select Customize Colors

Create Your Own Color Combination

You can also create your own color combination by updating the values for headers, sidebars, etc. The different sections of the page are divided into tabs along the top. Just select the tab for the area you wish to edit.

Edit a Color

Clicking on a field will open a color palette. You can:

1. Adjust the color slider
2. Enter a hex value
3. Enter an RGB or HSB value
4. Set the current color

Adjust Color

Adjust_color

In this example I have adjusted the color slider (1) and adjusted the current color (2). The current color is displayed in square #3. Clicking on square #4 will reset any of my changes.

Preview Changes

As you make adjustments you will see how your changes will look in the preview window below.

Apply Change

Apply_change

Click the color wheel to apply your changes. This just closes the color editor for the selected field. Your changes won't be permanent until you click Save.

Save Changes

Media_1292911544528

Once you are happy with your changes click Save. That's it. Your ScreenSteps Live space will now use the new color scheme.
