Seamate is a tool developed by https://datamate.org to easily customize the color of Seafile. With minimal effort, the Seafile orange can be exchanged for a color that better matches your own logo or your own corporate identity.
The adjustments are made purely by adding own CSS classes and do not make any changes to the Seafile server or the Seahub web interface. So you can easily from an orange, for example. make a red.
Just select a color, copy the css code to seafile and enjoy your new colored seafile. Try how simple it is - It will only take you seconds: https://datamate.org/seafile/seamate.
Just a short note to the past: a year ago, there was already a first version of seamate (https://github.com/datamate-rethink-it/seamate) with which you could make significantly more changes. However, this version of seamate first had to be elaborately integrated into Seafile’s code and adapted to Seafile’s every update. That was really complicated.
We at datamate believe that simplicity is more important than complete control of appearance. That’s why we chose a pure CSS based solution.
Seamate is now available for 7.0.7 Professional.
We have also adapted the CSS files for all 7.0.x versions and extended them with the two orange shades.
I found another orange. If you activate terms- and conditions in seafile and if you add a link to the description, this link is still orange. (#eb8205)
Tested with seafile 7.0.8 PE
Since the upgrade to Pro 7.0.9 a lot of our former custom CSS settings ceased to work in library view (like colorizing link background boxes) while they still work correctly in System Admin view.
I just went and tried your tool to generate a new CSS, encouraged by you having “fixed bugs”. Alas, library view still falls back to default seafile colors.
Is this also the case for you or is it specific to our installation?
On a related note, how do you as a professional service provider depending on seafile for your service cope with brand-related issues like this one? My colleague is livid already because our CI is distorted towards the few clients that get to see our private Seafile
I’ve tested Seamate for 7.0.9 on a fresh Docker installation. There are no errors in the library view.
Since Seamate overwrites all orange tones in the original files, please try the following:
Empty your browser cache. (Chrome SHIFT+F5 Firefox SHIFT+F5)
Remove temorarily the CSS files from previous versions. (BRANDING_CSS in seahub_settings.py)
Restart Seafile and Seahub.
If the problems still persist, please send me an email with screenshots to seafile@datamate.org
I have tried what you suggested. For good measure, I have moved the custom CSS from the web interface to the file method and configuring it in seahub-settings.py.
Wow great! My css was messed up since last ce update. You saved me tons of time.
Do you plan anything for the background? Like a dark theme? (There was something on your old github =)
