Use of Staff colour

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.

In my case I add a box-shadow and other minor changes but, most important, I add some text to clarify that this kind of posts are official communications that must be read.

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!

Sorry for the massive bump. But I’m currently customising my discourse forum, and I’m wondering how exactly I can customise the staff colour. Like what is the css I need to put in for that, or change.

Cheers.

It’s not really CSS but it comes from theme colors instead. In your admin settings --> Customize --> Colors --> [select a color palette] and then choose a new highlight color.

I was hoping to make it so instead of highlighting the whole post. It outlined the post instead with a 1px solid gold line.

Ich weiß nicht, ob ich etwas falsch gemacht habe, aber ich habe alle meine Farben für das dunkle und helle Thema bearbeitet und den hervorgehobenen Abschnitt in diesem Dunkelgrün gehalten:

Jedoch sind sowohl die Staff-Farbe als auch das Überfahren des Buttons im Dropdown-Menü:

Dieses Blau, das nirgendwo in meinen Farbschemata vorkommt. Wenn mir jemand helfen oder eine CSS-Änderung vorschlagen könnte, wäre das fantastisch, danke.

Es behält alle Theme-Farben im Dunkelmodus bei, aber im Hellmodus macht es das ^^^. Auch dieses Stift-Bearbeitungsicon ist orange:

Danke!
