1. Select Custom Appearance in the Administration tab. This will open the Custom Appearance page.

2. Type a color value in the Background Color field. Color values can be specified by using either standard hexadecimal notation (eg: "#343434"), standard color name (eg: "DarkGoldenrod"), or clicking the color indicator square to bring up the Color Selection menu.

For a complete list of standard color names supported by Approval Manager, refer to the Supported Color Names list below.

3. Click Preview. The selected background color will be applied for review in the preview area of the page.

Note: If you have assigned a background image and its vertical height is as large as or larger than the vertical height of the header, the background color will not be visible (unless the image file used for the background image contains transparent areas).

4. Review the color selection in the preview area of the Custom Appearance page.

5. If satisfied with the background color, continue to the next step. Or, if you prefer the previous background color, click Revert. The user link color appearance will revert to the most recently saved collaborative appearance settings.

6. Click Save when finished. Collaborative users who log into the system will now see the background color defined in the Background Color field.

The default background color is #F1F1F1. This might be useful if you want to return to the default background color appearance.
