Case Status Color Example

The CSS class for color is used to style the case status label. Below is an example of adding a new case status and adding CSS overrides to style the status label.

1. Add a new case status called Awaiting Upgrade.
2. Enter case-status-label-awaiting-upgrade for the CSS class.
   
3. In Control Panel > System >  CSS Overrides, add the following code, at the bottom.

   /*Style for the Awaiting Upgrade case status*/
   .case-status-label-awaiting-upgrade {
      background: #ce8109;
      border-color: #ce8109;
      color: white;
   }
   

4. Click Save CSS Overrides.

Result:

You can modify the CSS code for your own case status:

• Replace case-status-label-awaiting-upgrade with your case status's CSS class.
• Replace #ce8109 with your desired background color. (Make sure to replace both instances of #ce8109 .)
• If the background is light, also replace white with black .
