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'm writing to see if anyone else has noticed this change in Canvas and can explain when and why it happened.

My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
