Is there a way to change the color of the inbox message count? When I am on any page other than inbox is black on gray and nearly impossible to read. If I click on inbox, it is white on blue and easy to see.
Thanks!
Hello there, @hdenley ...
I can definitely see why this would be difficult to view...with the gray background and black text. The contrast between those two colors isn't great, IMHO. The circle/number you are seeing is called a "badge", and your school's Canvas administrator should be able to pick a different color (which would affect your entire Canvas environment, by the way) that would be easier to see. This is done on the Canvas theme for the account.
How do I create a theme for an account using the T... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
I believe the two items that your Canvas admin would want to look at are the "Nav Badge" (which would be the dark gray background) and the "Nav Badge Text" (which would be the black numbered text).
I'm assuming that your Canvas admin has configured the theme to match your school colors. But, maybe there is a secondary color at Cabarrus County Schools that is lighter in color (such as a light blue) that they would be willing to change that to instead of the dark gray.
Hopefully you'll be able to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator soon about this. Good luck!
Hello! I am using a canvas assignment text box to do an in-class writing task for my students. I would like to limit the features of the text box to prevent cheating. How can I remove features like "add code" or "access google" so that students can only do the simple task of typing an essay? I am already using Securly to…
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
