Using Custom CSS

On this page

You can completely customize the look & feel of your dashboard using custom CSS rules so the dashboard fits your company’s branding guidelines. You can find the CSS editor at the bottom of the Look & Feel section.

Custom CSS editor

Editing works like this.

Start by opening your dashboards in a separate browser tab.
Generate some boilerplate CSS code by hitting the Generate boilerplate button.
Open the hints tab so see all the classes available for you to target.
Make some edits, hit Save dashboard and reload your dashboard.

Custom CSS is available on the Team and Enterprise plans.

Styling examples

We created some examples of how you can style your dashboard using the brand colors from well known brands. This should help you explore the possibilities you have available.

Amazon Web Services style

In this example we aim to replicate the brand style of Amazon Web Sevices (AWS).

Note the following:

We set a dark background for the header with light color text. We also tweak the status and incident summary.
We set the link color to the orange brand color.
We remove the border-radius on the check cards and add a box-shadow.

.header {
  background: #232e3e;
}

.header .logo a {
  color: #fca311;
}

.header h1 {

Note the following:

We set a dark background for both the header and main sections.
We set a lighter color for a range of text elements to contract with the dark background
We set a new color pattern for the big red incident alert at the top of the page.
We tweak the brand “red” and “green” colors to better match the palette.
