How to Maintain Color Consistency Between Nested Menu Items

The Color Theme menu in Cadence allows you to customize your event's visual appearance across all platforms. When using nested menu items (menu items with sub-items), you may notice inconsistent color application between parent and child items. This guide will help you ensure all nested menu items display your selected color theme correctly.

When to use

  • After applying a new color theme to your event
  • When nested custom menu items aren't displaying consistent colors
  • When you need uniform branding across all menu levels

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.
    Choose your preferred color theme option (Default Color, Custom Color, or Advanced Colors).
    Configure your color settings based on your selected option.
For Custom Color, click on the color box to select your desired color. For Advanced Colors, you'll need to configure colors for each feature.
    Click "Save" to apply your color theme.
    Navigate to Menu in the left sidebar.
    Verify that all nested menu items have the same feature type assigned.
For consistent color application, ensure both parent and child menu items are configured with the same feature type.
    For custom menu items with sub-items, check that the parent item's settings match the child items.
    Click "Save" after making any adjustments to menu settings.
    Open your event's user-facing website in a new browser tab to verify color consistency.
    Navigate through nested menu structures to confirm all levels display the same color theme.
Some deeply nested menu items may require additional verification as they can sometimes inherit different color properties.

Troubleshooting

If nested menu items still display inconsistent colors after following these steps, verify that bullet points in sub-menu items are also displaying the correct custom color. For persistent issues, try recreating the nested menu structure or contact support for assistance.
