Changing the GUI Colors

In environments with multiple instances — such as a production and a test system — it is helpful to visually distinguish the Syncer interfaces from each other.

You can configure the following settings in local_config.py:

Setting	Description
STYLE_NAV_BACKGROUND_COLOR	HTML color for the navigation bar background (default: #000)
STYLE_NAV_LINK_COLOR	HTML color for the navigation links (default: #fff)
HEADER_HINT	Free text shown in the header bar, e.g. the environment name

Example

config = {
    'STYLE_NAV_BACKGROUND_COLOR': '#8b0000',
    'STYLE_NAV_LINK_COLOR': '#ffffff',
    'HEADER_HINT': 'PRODUCTION — handle with care',
}

This makes the navigation bar dark red and adds a warning text in the header, making it immediately clear which instance you are working on.
