Choosing Site Colors and Logo
To make Jive a better fit for your community, you may want to change the color scheme and the logo that appear across the site. As an administrator, you can do this easily without logging into the admin console. Jive offers a simple way in the user interface to make basic site-wide customizations.
- In the end user UI, click the down arrow next to your name and then Customize Your Site. You must have administrator privileges to see this option.
- On the Customize your site page, under Select a color scheme,
click the color you want to use. You'll see the preview section at the bottom of
the page update as you click colors.
The UI in the preview is "real," even including a few links that navigate to other parts of the application. You probably want to keep the preview as it is, so try not to click the links.
Also, notice the link, Find out how to create your own theme. If you're not able to get the look you want on this page, you can click the link to reach a page with more advanced options. There, you can get started editing source code to create your own theme. For more information see Customizing the UI with the Theme Resource Kit.
- To replace the default logo, either upload a new logo image or enter text to
appear in the logo area. If you upload an image, be sure to use a JPG, PNG, or
GIF file.
Using an image with a transparent background will help ensure a cleaner look, with the background color showing through. The background behind the logo is designed to adjust to the size of the image you apply.
- Click the Preview button next to your selection to update the preview
section.
If you enter a name or title instead of a logo image, you can undo the preview by deleting the text from the box and clicking Preview again.
- Click Publish Design when you're ready to save your changes. If you don't like your changes, click Discard Changes. To reset the site back to the defaults it had when you got it, click Reset Site to Default.
