Dashboard / Portal Background Colors

There have been a number of requests in the past for the option to have additional colors available for dashboards, especially to allow dark backgrounds to be used which are currently very popular.

Can you advise if these requests have moved forward with the development team at all, some of them are over 5 years old and it's not like Smartsheet to ignore their users good ideas.

This would be a great feature to have and would make dashboards look spectacular.

I agree Paulo, we would be over the moon if there were more than white and gray for the background. I'm not talking about 16 million colors but give us a light blue or a seafoam green, anything to get us out of the old mono-chrome days of the 1970's and 80's.

Is there a way to customize the background color of just one widget? The only thing I see is the ability to customize the background color of ALL widgets to be the same color, which is not what I need for this particular dashboard.

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

I’d like to see user analytics for WorkApps. I’ve checked the user report available in the Collaborator Pack, but it only shows how many times someone has clicked into the WorkApp each month.

Sheet Icon Color Consistency
The 'Sheet' icon appears purple in the left navigation but blue within the sheet, creating inconsistency. Aligning icon colors across the platform would improve clarity and simplify user training. Please standardize the icon color to enhance user experience and reduce confusion during onboarding.
