Appearance Settings

ClientPress includes several appearance options to control how portals look and feel site-wide. These are found under Settings → ClientPress → Appearance.

Powered By Pill #

The “Powered by ClientPress” pill is a small branding element that appears on all portals. You can enable or disable it and control exactly where and when it shows.

Enabling or Disabling #

Check or uncheck Show “Powered by” pill to toggle it on or off.

Position #

Choose where the pill appears:

• Lower Right (default) — Fixed floating pill in the bottom-right corner of the screen
• Lower Left — Fixed floating pill in the bottom-left corner
• Footer Bar — A full-width strip pinned to the bottom of the page

Hide on Screen Sizes #

You can hide the pill on specific screen sizes while keeping it visible on others:

• Mobile — Up to 480px
• Tablet — 481px – 1024px
• Desktop — 1025px and above

Select any combination. Leaving all unchecked means the pill is visible on all screen sizes.

Tab Icons #

Each portal navigation tab has a configurable icon. You can change the icon for any tab from a library of 23 options.

Configurable Tabs #

Overview, Dashboard, Discussion, Tasks, Calendar, Board, Tools, Files, Deliverables, People, Hubs, Docs, Guides

Changing a Tab Icon #

1. Go to Settings → ClientPress → Appearance
2. Find the Tab Icons section
3. Click the icon you want for each tab
4. Save settings

Icons are rendered as inline SVGs and scale cleanly at any size.

Portal Layout Widths #

Control the content width for each portal view globally. These are your site-wide defaults — individual portals can override select views.

• Portal (Overview) — portal_width
• Discussion — discussion_width
• Message Board — message_board_width
• Files — assets_width
• Docs — docs_width
• Calendar — calendar_width

Options for each:

• Inherit — Uses your theme’s default content width (recommended starting point)
• Full Width — Stretches edge-to-edge inside the portal
• Narrow — Constrained reading width, good for text-heavy views

See Setting Portal Width and Layout per View for details on per-portal overrides.

Global Portal Colors #

The default accent color and background color for all portals are configured in the WordPress Customizer, not on the Settings page.

To set global portal colors:

1. Go to Appearance → Customize
2. Open Portal Colors
3. Set the Default Accent Color and optionally a custom background color
4. Publish

Individual portals can override the accent color in the portal editor.
