Modify Side Menu Color Scheme


I'm currently working with Metronic8/demo42 and exploring ways to customize the global color scheme of the sidebar menu. My focus is on altering the background color of the sidebar and changing the default and hover colors of its menu items font. I've examined the "Global Stylesheet" (/css/style.bundle.css) but haven't been able to locate the sections for these specific modifications. Ideally, I'm looking to adjust the sidebar's color palette through the classes of various elements, such as 'app-sidebar-menu'. Could you advise on whether this approach is feasible, or suggest a simpler method to achieve this customization?

Hi,

You will need to use SASS in src/sass/layout/_variables.custom.scss to edit the layout styles and then recompile your assets folder with Gulp or Webpack.

Please note that the build tools are required only in the development environment just to compile the assets when the source folder files are modified. In the hosting/server deployment, you will only need the compile assets, no need to install the build tools dependencies there.

Regards, Sean
