Custom Entry Color

Hello,
This is not something supported. It's not really easy with the current architecture, but I will try to think of a way to implement this. I can't promise anything, though.

Regards

David,

Thank you for the upfront response. I didn't think there was a way to do that from what I could tell, but figured I would give it a shot.

Maybe something to the affect of color always equals default, unless something like <NameColor> field is populated?

Of course that would be a new field, but just throwing something out there.

Thank you again, sir.

Hello,
This is much easier than what I thought if it's the text and not the image.

Absolutely sir! Just the text!!!

Exactly the same thing as when I set a Jump Host the text turns green.

Just want to have the customer's ability to set the text to certain colors to help other teammates differentiate between the VPN's needed for connectivity.

Yellow = VPN 1
Blue = VPN 2
Green = Jump Host

That kind of stuff, sir.

Hello,
I have created a ticket for that.

Well I'll be damned!!! I even played with this before posting.

Problem is, I set "Color" option and saw that when you open the session, it puts a border in that specific color around the open connection:

I never played around with the 2nd option there of "Fore color", so my apologies.

Sorry for wasting your time, David.

Please mark this resolved, since that option hasn't quite yet been implemented for the client base here on the forums. :-)

Have a great weekend!

Hello,
Don't worry; this was not wasted time. The labels were clearly not obvious, and I will improve them. I remember now that I'm the one who implemented that a few years ago. :)

Well thank you, sir! I did, however, run across a couple issues after doing some more digging. Maybe it was designed this way, maybe not - LOL

So the entries themselves work like a champ. There's the stock white, the green for Jump Server, and the one I did:


However, it doesn't seem this works with applying colors to folders:



Is it supposed to apply to folders as well?

Hello,
I will investigate, but I suspect that the property is not handled by the folders. This is a bug if that's the case.

Hello,
I've just verified and the color setting you see is for the tab page when it's inherited. The entry color setting is missing. I will fix this.

Good morning, Mr. David sir.

I was just curious on an update for the folder color actually referencing what is wanted.

As you can see in the below screenshot, I did a "Edit> Batch Edit > Edit entries (general settings) > User Interface > Override > Colors > Entry color > Custom color > 255, 128, 128"


The entries themselves are changed which is fine. However, if the folders are collapsed, it would be nice to have the folder color itself match. This is how my team knows what VPN is needed to make the connection.

Thanks!

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your response, and I am sorry for the delay,

Regarding the folders that match the colours of the entries in them, just to ensure, would you like the folder to change colour only when it is collapsed or to always have the colour that matches the entry even when it is not collapsed?

Thank you for letting us know. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Best regards,

Thanks for the question. For our usage, I would say any status. Collapsed, Not Collapsed, etc.

Unless there would be a way to include some sort of "trigger option" when selecting, like a checkbox to say "include child folders" or something to that extent.

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your response!

To ensure I understand correctly, would you always like the folder to show the custom colour?

If you batch edit, select the folder and the entries, and change the colour, does it not apply to all of them?

For testing, this is the way the current folder is config'd:


With a batch edit on the "F" parent folder, it now shows this with the new color:


So it changes the color of the entries, yes. Just doesn't change the color of the folders unless done with the Advanced Search.

Good afternoon.

Is this broken now in 2024.3.27.0?

Or is there a new way to get the FOLDERS to inherit the color of their parent folder at all times?

I have been trying for hours to get my parent folder and subfolders the same color to no avail.

I had to move from Licensed Enterprise to Free Version, and had to update a new Data Source.

Thanks!

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your response!

Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce the behaviour. Could you please share screenshots of configuring the options in your folders? This will allow us to make those changes and see if we can reproduce the issue.

Thank you for letting us know. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

I had to make the parent and all sub folders set to such:

However, I have found ZERO way to "inherit" the Entry color selection.

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your response!

I've tested different versions of RDM, and I haven't seen any settings for the “entry colour” that could inherit from the parent folder. Have you been able to make it work before version 2024.3.27.0, or could you not configure a folder/input to inherit the input colour from another folder before?

Thank you for letting me know. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Good morning, Maxim.

There has never been a way to "Inherit" the folder color.

If this is something that could be implemented, that would be fantastic. That way, if someone is looking for the sub-entries to be identical to the parent entries for their purpose, it would work as planned where it does not today.

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for your response!

I've opened a Feature request thread regarding the possibility of adding this feature. Here's the link if you want to follow the thread.
