Upload styles

You can upload custom styles for your dashboards, widgets, and the entire application. The styles are stored in the MashZone NextGen database.

If you want to change or add a dashboard style, just upload the corresponding LESS style file, for example, myDashboardStyle.less. The LESS file can also be stored in a ZIP file. The ZIP file can have any name, for example, myStyles.zip.

If you want to change or add a dashboard style and widget styles, or just widget styles, you must upload a ZIP file that contains the corresponding LESS style files. The style files must be stored in the required folders, and the ZIP file must contain a corresponding file structure as described in chapter How are the style files structured?.
