How to Ensure Custom Menu Items Display Your Selected Color Theme Correctly
The Color Theme settings in Cadence allow you to customize your event's visual appearance across all platforms. While standard menu items automatically adopt your selected color theme, custom menu items sometimes require additional verification to ensure they display colors correctly.
When to use
After applying a new color theme to your event
When you've created custom menu items that aren't displaying the expected colors
When you need consistent branding across all menu items, including custom ones
How to do it
Navigate to the Admin site for your event.
Select Event Setup from the main navigation menu.
Click on Color Theme in the left sidebar menu.
Verify your color theme selection is set to your preferred option (Default Color, Custom Color, or Advanced Colors).
If using Advanced Colors, ensure all features have the desired colors assigned.
Custom menu items inherit colors from their parent feature type. For example, a custom page will use the Custom Pages color.
Click "Save" to apply your color theme settings.
Open your event's user-facing website in a new browser tab.
Check your custom menu items to verify they display the correct colors.
Look at both the menu icon color and the highlight color when the item is selected.
If colors aren't displaying correctly, return to the Admin site and navigate to Menu.
Locate your custom menu item in the menu list.
Click the edit icon next to the custom menu item.
Verify the "Feature" dropdown is set to the appropriate feature type.
The feature type determines which color from your Advanced Colors settings will be applied.
Save your changes to the menu item.
Refresh your event's user-facing website to see if the colors now display correctly.
Troubleshooting
If custom menu items with sub-menu items aren't displaying the correct colors, verify that both the parent item and sub-items have the same feature type assigned. Nested custom menu items may require additional configuration to properly display the custom color theme.
