Name and branding
Rename the workspace, and set the logos and colors Screenly uses in place of its own.
Workspace settings are under Settings in the sidebar. Selecting it turns the sidebar into the settings menu, with one page per area:
- General
- Security
- Members
- Linked workspaces
- Notifications
- Integrations
- Billing & subscription
Back to workspace at the top of the menu returns you to the rest of the dashboard.
Every member can open these pages. Each setting says what it does next to it, and when your plan or your role does not allow something, the page says why in place. Actions that are hard to undo ask you to confirm first.
The name and branding are on General.
Name
What people see at the top of the sidebar and in the Lobby, and what appears in invitations. Rename it whenever; nothing depends on it.
Owners and Admins can rename the workspace. Everyone else sees the name, with a note that renaming needs admin permission.
A name can be as short as 1 character, but it cannot be blank or only spaces. A name that is turned down comes with a message saying why.
The name is also what you type to confirm a transfer of ownership, which is the one moment it matters.
Branding
Your logo and colors, held against the workspace so that apps on your screens show yours in place of Screenly's. Open Branding from General to set them.
You set two logos and three colors, because backgrounds vary:
| Setting | Used on |
|---|---|
| Light logo | Dark backgrounds |
| Dark logo | Light backgrounds |
| Light color | Dark backgrounds |
| Dark color | Light backgrounds |
| Accent color | Highlighting important elements |
Logo requirements
SVG, PNG, WebP, or JPEG, no larger than 1 MB.
A bitmap must be exactly 512 by 512 pixels. An SVG only has to be square.
Use the SVG if you have one. It stays sharp at any size and is usually the smallest file. A PNG with transparency is the next best thing, since it sits correctly on both the light and dark backgrounds.
Getting it right
Upload the light and dark logos as an actual pair, not the same file twice. The point of having both is that a logo with dark lettering disappears on a dark background, and the failure is invisible until somebody sees the wrong one.
Check the accent color for contrast rather than picking it straight from a brand palette. Brand accents are chosen for print and for large areas, and some are unreadable as small text.
