Dear Community,

is it possible in ArcGIS Enterprise Builder to control the background colors of Widget Controller buttons via the organizational colors (defined design) via an extra entry/color?
I do not want to use the predefined color values of the organizational colors for header (header background, header text), button (button background, button text), or text (text background, text, link).

The color of the organizational colors of the button background is blue in our case, but I do not want to use that, as I would like the Widget Controller buttons to have a white background. This should be controlled centrally via the organizational colors, due to changes reflecting in all apps. 

It would be great if there would be additional  organizational colors to add. For example add another organizational color for the button background.

We deliberately do not use another theme (Default, Ink, Violet, etc.) because color changes would have to be manually adjusted across all other applications.

So is there any other way to apply a specific color to the Widget Controller buttons via the organizational colors (e.g. by adding an extra/additional entry in the organizational colors)?

Unfortunately, we do not have the Developer Edition.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi @timfreisen .

To be honest, I don't quite understand the sentence "This should be controlled centrally via the organizational colors, due to changes reflecting in all apps."

If the Controller does not specify a color, its button background color follows the theme's primary color;

using the palette, you can assign any color to the Controller, not just the org color;

and assigning color to the current Controller does not affect the colors of other Controllers.

Are you looking for a method that you can change the color of all Controllers across multiple apps in a unified way, without having to configure each one manually?

Hi Allen_Zhang,

i was trying to find a possible solution for using the organizational colors for the button background to change the color of all Controllers across multiple apps in a unified way.


Due to the color set in the organizational colors it would be only this one option to change to reflect the color value change in all Experiences.
So we wont need to change all colors in all the Experiences and the maintenance effort would be smaller.

Yes, thats what we wanted.
 
I assume that this is not possible and we need to set the color in every experience of all the widget controllers we use?

Best

If a app applies org theme, its controllers' button bg color will follow the org's primary color.

But I guess not all the apps are using org theme? 

So this is really a hard one to solve.

I understand that when I set the org colors to the button bg it will follow the org's primary color.

In my original post I dont write that I am talking about an experience template. Sry about that, not very clear there.
All Apps will use the color theme of the template we are using.

I do not want to use the predefined color values of the organizational button (button background) because this is blue in our case.

And I dont want to change the color value of the organisational button background to fit my needs just for the experience due to that other Apps (Story Maps, Instant Apps etc.) will have this new color set when they use the organisational color theme.

So I think there is no other way of using the organisational theme just for the experiences?
