Multiple Group Owner: Alternate Group Colors? #groupowner

 

Is there any way that an alternative background color can be set for each group??
As an owner of several groups, some with similar names but different functions,
I have found it too easy to click to another group and post information in error.
(As a result I am having to shift about 385 people to the correct group)
This could be solved with an alternative background color, border color, navigation menu color or
an unique Icon for that group next to the "Home" button.
ANYTHING to help distinguish what group we are working in.

Please advise

You can't change the background for the entire group, but you can create a separate "sticky wiki" page for each group and change the background color of that. The "sticky wiki" appears at the top of the Messages, regardless of what view you use.

Something like this will work...hopefully you browser won't try to render it.

<table style="background-color: red;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p style="text-align: center; color: white"><strong>YOUR TEXT HERE</strong></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Hope this helps,

Well, as it turned out, the table background color was not saved. It showed the color on the WYSIWYG html editor but when I went back to the Messages page...[unpleasant surprise]...the color attribute had been stripped.

I still recommend creating some kind of Sticky Wiki page, though, to help you keep track of what group you're in. I'm looking for help on that topic too but am not finding that either, but you might want to read this thread instead.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
