How do you change the header/footer color for MyPage.

Question

I understand that you can change the type of headers and footer for Mypage using Subportals. If I want to change the 'color' of the header for mypage, do I just have to 'create a new header using a different color' or 'edit and change the color of the existing header portlet in the Brand setting'? Does that mean that I need to create several header portlets of the same type with different colors?

Answer 1

Couple of points:
In 5.0, unlike 4.5, individuals can not change the color of their MyPage, and is determined by the Subportal assignment of the user. The MyPage color (and header) can be different for each Subportal, but users only belong to a single Subportal, and Subportals and Subportal assignments are usually only made by the Portal manager.The color can , however, be different on each Community, and that can be controlled by each Community manager.For Subportals, you need to create a new header Portlet for each color scheme.For Communities, you do nothave to create a new header Portlet: Choose an existing Portlet from the Community editor, save your changes, re-open the Community editor, and go back to the Header and Footer selection screen. You will be able to click on the selected header Portlet and change the color scheme for that one Community.
