This article focuses on how those settings will affect the Signage Platform

These settings are shared by other systems within Korbyt, so be mindful of any additional effects they might have if you also subscribe to our Desktop(InView) or Mobile & Web products
Brand Colors
Brand colors can be set here and then selected within the layout Builder.
These colors are also used in the Mobile & Web and Desktop(InView) products.
For the impact of color settings on other products, see Branding Controls For Mobile & Web or Desktop (InView) Application Settings
Setting Colors
On the settings screen, enter a new color code or use the color wheel to select a new color
Using Brand Colors in Building Layouts
If using the Builder Tool to create or edit a Layout.
In the Layout Builder
Add a new Text Element, or edit an existing one
Select Color, and then in either the Text Color or the Background Color sections
Use the drop-down to switch between Custom colors and Branding colors. Select Branding

You will then be able to use the Select Brand Colors drop-down

Using Brand Colors in Launchpad Templates
If you are building or editing a predefined layout template for a Launchpad
Select Predefined Layouts from the Layout screen
Create or Edit a Predefined Layout
Add a new Text Note element, or open the properties of an existing one
When editing the properties for the Text Note element, you will see an option to select Brand Settings

Clicking this box will add the option for users to select from brand colors for Text or Background to text in the Launchpad Editor

Brand Logos
Logos for signage provide a way to configure two logo options, which can then be easily selected by users when working within Layouts. They do not have an effect on their own without user action in the design building process, but once configured, if the logo is changed, it will update in all areas where the logo was referenced.
Logos files should be PNG files with filenames formatted without spaces
Stacked Logo
The Stacked Logo is used by the Mobile & Web and Desktop(InView) product lines to set their branding.
Suggested Size 120px X 60px
Suggested Aspect Ratio: 2:1
Horizontal Logo
An additional logo file area where an alternate logo can be added
This logo is not used directly in either the Mobile & Web or Desktop(InView) applications
Setting Logos
To set either logo
Click the red X to remove the current image
Select the new image
The file name should contain NO Spaces
Either click Select Image to browse your computer for the new file
Or, drag&drop the file to the area
Click Save in the Upper Right to confirm your changes
Using Logos in the Builder Tool
If using the Builder Tool to create or edit a Layout.
In the Layout Builder
Add a new image element, or edit an existing one
In the Edit Element menu, you will see two options to select either the Stack Logo or the Horizontal Logo

If the file is changed in the Settings later, it will update to any image element where it is referenced.
Using the Logos in Launchpad Templates
If you are building or editing a predefined layout template for a Launchpad
Select Predefined Layouts from the Layout screen
Create or Edit a Predefined Layout
Add a new image element, or open the properties of an existing one
When editing the properties for the image element, you will see an option to select Brand Settings

Checking the box will add a media selection space at top of the media selection space in the Launchpad editor when this image element is edited, giving users the option to switch between the Stacked and Horizontal logos

Use the left and right arrows to switch between them
