For custom themes, the default colour for the Mustache template needs to be overridden for the custom theme to apply. This change can be made via the user interface in Totara, or via a hard-code change.
In Totara
To override the default colours via the Totara user interface, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Appearance.
- Select the theme you wish to edit (e.g. Inspire) from the Appearance block.
- Click Edit site brand (or click the edit icon for a tenant if you are using multitenancy with different themes).
- Select the Colours tab.
- Toggle on Use overriding colours.
- Enter the overriding colours.
- Click Save.
In code
If you are experienced with editing Totara code then you can hard-code the change into the background colour default in the server/theme/legacy/templates/core/email_html.mustache template, or override it in the theme's directory.
