Geckoboard customers can request a paid add-on to unlock advanced dashboard theming for your plan. Once enabled, you'll be able to deeply customize the look and feel of your dashboards to match your brand or team colors.
To request advanced theming for your dashboard(s), contact us today.
Applying a customized theme for your dashboard
Click Customize from your dashboard masthead. From here you can also upload a dashboard logo. Scroll down to Advanced themes.
To customize your dashboard colors you'll need the six-digit hex codes for the following dashboard elements. When entering the hex code, exclude the # symbol – you only need the alphanumeric characters.
Below is a table displaying what each element is and does, as well as the default theme's colors.
Element | Description | Default theme hex code # |
Brand color | Used for sparklines, bar and line chart series, etc. | |
Dashboard background | Used for the frame and footer color. |
|
Widget background | Usually has the same hue as the dashboard color, but with more, or less, brightness. |
|
Text | We recommend picking a dark color for light theme and a light color for dark theme. |
|
Positive | Used for positive states and alerts. |
|
Negative | Used for negative states and alerts. |
|
Caution | Used for caution states. |
|
After filling in all the fields with your desired hex values, click Save, and your dashboard will now display your new color scheme.
