As you know there is a built in feature called ‘Staff Colour’
What is the proper use of it. Is it for setting an example to others and important announcements? Im just looking for the proper use. As for now my forum uses it for staff setting an example.
Thanks

In my case (support forum) I use staff color for **very important announcements** that involve the whole community.
Secondly, to give an **official answer** in a public topic where two or more team’s members have differing views and a user do not know which of these instructions should follow (very rare, but it happens).

We will be de-styling this a bit in future versions. The function will remain but it will be less.. yellow and obnoxious.

We really only break it out when it’s a mod reply that basically says “everyone chill, remember the rules” kind of thing. Very rarely. I’ve also restyled it.

No meu caso, adicionei uma `box-shadow` e outras alterações menores, mas, o mais importante, incluí algum texto para esclarecer que esse tipo de postagem são _comunicações oficiais_ que **devem ser lidas**.

Just made it our brand color. Here’s a screenshot as well as speaking to the use case that we employ for these staff flagged posts.

We just use the theming to set it as a lighter version of whatever main theme color is in use.
We use it for pointing out important staff actions or reminders of acceptable use.

It certainly is _much_ nicer when it is the “brand” color!

Outra ferramenta na caixa de ferramentas da equipe é o

> In [Discourse 2.3.0.beta4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-3-0-beta4-release-notes/111296) we added a special call-out notice for new/returning users. Staff can now add custom call-outs above posts, which appear similar to the new user first post call-out. In latest Discourse, we made it so you can also use Markdown. This notes can be added from the wrench button (post admin actions) and shield Add Staff Notice.

Desculpe pela retomada massiva. Mas estou personalizando meu fórum Discourse e gostaria de saber exatamente como posso personalizar a cor da equipe. Qual é o CSS que preciso adicionar ou alterar para isso?
Abraços.

Não é exatamente CSS, mas vem das cores do tema. Nas suas configurações de administrador → Personalizar → Cores → [selecione uma paleta de cores] e, em seguida, escolha uma nova cor de `destaque`.

Eu esperava fazer com que, em vez de destacar todo o post, ele o contornasse com uma linha sólida dourada de 1px.

Não sei se fiz algo errado, mas editei todas as minhas cores para os temas escuro e claro e fiz a seção destacada neste verde escuro:
No entanto, tanto a cor da equipe quanto o botão de passar o mouse no menu suspenso:
São azuis que não estão em nenhum dos meus esquemas de cores. Se alguém puder ajudar ou sugerir uma alteração em CSS, seria fabuloso, obrigado.
Ele mantém todas as cores do tema no modo escuro, mas faz isso ^^^ no modo claro. Além disso, este ícone de lápis editado é laranja:
Obrigado!
