# Look, navigation & about page > Theme colors and logos, the top menu and landing page, sidebar widgets and the promo banner, custom emojis, and the About page for members and guests. Source: https://support.estage.com/community-appearance Part of the ESTAGE Support help center (https://support.estage.com). Full knowledge base: https://support.estage.com/llms-full.txt --- These are the settings that decide how your community looks and how people find their way around it — use them to bring the community in line with your brand and to put the most useful places one click away. All of them live under **Settings → Community Settings**, except the sidebar widgets and the promo banner, which you edit right on the feed. ## Before you start - You need to be the community's owner, or hold a [role](https://support.estage.com/community-roles) with the matching permission — see [Things worth knowing](#things-worth-knowing) for which permission covers what. - The **Featured Ad** and **Upcoming Events** widgets need the Business Plus plan. ## Theme & styles **Settings → Community Settings → Styles** opens **Theme & styles**. 1. Pick a theme from the list: **Light Theme**, **Dark Theme**, **Custom Theme**, or one you saved earlier. 2. Adjust the colors. Every color has a **Reset**. The palette covers buttons (**Primary Color**, **Text on Primary**), backgrounds, borders, input fields, text, navigation, widgets, icons, hover states and the overlay on restricted posts. 3. Optionally set a **Theme logo** — it overrides the default logo from [General Settings](https://support.estage.com/community-general-settings) for this theme only — and its **Logo size**. 4. Save: - On **Custom Theme**, **Save as new template** stores your colors as a named theme. - On **Light Theme**, **Dark Theme** or a saved theme, **Update settings** saves the changes. **Delete theme** removes a saved theme. **Custom Theme** and saved themes have extra options: - **Site background** — a **Background image** across the site, with **Position** (Top / Center / Bottom) and **Opacity**. - **Modal popup** — **Background blur**, a **Background overlay** with its color, and a **Drop shadow**. ### Choosing what members see - **Set as default** makes a theme the one every member starts with. - **Use the default theme for everyone** stops members from picking another theme — everyone sees the default. ## Navigation **Settings → Community Settings → Navigation** edits the menu. - The dropdown at the top picks what you're editing: the **Main Feed** menu (the top navigation bar), or a channel's menu (shown while that channel is open). - **Quick add** puts in a ready-made item: Feed, Courses, Videos, Resources, Opportunities, Events, Members, Leaderboards, Affiliate, About. - For anything else, type a **Custom label** and a URL — an internal path starting with `/` or a full `https://` address — and click **Add**. - Drag items to reorder them. Each item can open in a new tab. - **Default landing page** (Main Feed only) is where members land after signing in, and where the logo links. If you own the community and have [ESTAGE Rooms Signature](https://knowledge.estage.com/rooms/), the Main Feed list has one more row: **Account menu · your ESTAGE Rooms app download**. It's the download item in each member's account menu, not in the top bar. Change its label, point it to your own app's download page (a full `https://` link), or click the X to hide it; **Quick add → ESTAGE Rooms** brings it back. > **Note** > > Items without a name or with an invalid link are dropped when you save — if an item disappears > after saving, add it again with a label and a valid link. ## Sidebar widgets and the promo banner The column beside the feed is made of widgets. On the feed, click **Manage Widgets** to switch them on or off and drag them into order: **Channel Info**, **Group Info**, **Featured Ad**, **Online Members**, **Leaderboard**, **Upcoming Events**, **Member Blaze**, **Additional Links**, **My Progress**. > **Note** > > **Featured Ad** and **Upcoming Events** need the Business Plus plan. Without it they show greyed out > in **Manage Widgets** and can't be switched on. Inside a channel, **Use for all channels** copies the current layout to every channel, and **Reset to default** makes a channel follow the community default again. Editing a channel's widgets detaches it from the default. **Featured Ad** is your promo banner. With the widget on, edit it in place: the pencil icons change its header, **Cover** image, **Title**, **Description** and **Button** (text and link). The eye icon hides or shows it — you always see it while editing, members only when it's shown. ## Custom emojis **Settings → Community Settings → Custom Emojis** holds your own emoji set. They show up in the emoji picker of the post composer. 1. Click **Add Emoji**. 2. Enter an **Emoji Name** and pick the image (**Select File**). A 20 × 20 px SVG works best. 3. Click **Create**. The name identifies the emoji: saving another one with the same name replaces it. ## About page **Settings → Community Settings → About Page** builds the community's About page. - Two versions: **For members** and **For guests**. Each has its own content, so visitors can get a pitch and members a welcome. - **Main section** — a video (from your ESTAGE video library or an external URL), audio, a cover image, or **None**, plus formatted text. - **Add section** for more blocks; the X removes one. - **Import from share code** pulls in an About page someone shared with you, then opens it. Add **About** to the menu from **Navigation → Quick add** so people can reach it. ## Things worth knowing - Theme, navigation, emoji and widget changes reach every member as soon as you save. - The **Theme** permission covers Styles; **Custom emojis** covers the emoji set; **Navigation & sidebar** covers the menu and the main feed's widgets; inside a channel, widgets fall under **Channels & categories**; **Promo banner** covers Featured Ad; the About page falls under **Name, about & branding**.
