Hi KP11,

This should give you text with a coloured background on a wallboard from within the text gadget.

<span style="background-color: red;font-family: Arial;font-size: 40px;">
<font color= white size="5"><b> Test Background</b>
</font>
</span>

I'm interested in changing the appearance of the wallboard.

Could someone elaborate on where this HTML is entered? Can it be done through the JIRA administration pages? Or does it require editing of .css and .html files on the server itself via SSH?

Hi,

Apparently it is not possible. The gadget offers a option (7 colors) for each user to configure it themselves.

Sorry about that! :/
But please let me know if you found another way to do it.

Any further question, please, feel free to ask! :)

Best Regards,
Elisa
