The default color for Habitat comments is yellow. You can customize the default comment color of an Inkdoc to meet your organization’s needs.

1. Click the Inkdoc in the Habitat dashboard. The Inkdoc’s base URL displays in the URL bar.

   https://habitat.inkling.com/project/sn_ab12

2. Add this file path to the end of URL to access the habitat-configuration.json file:

   /theme/files/s9ml/.templates/habitat-configuration.json

3. Add the "issueHighlightColor" key-value pair to the habitat-configuration.json file. Add this key-value pair below the "fileFormatVersion" key-value pair. Use a six-digit hex code for the color value.

   Be careful when editing this file. Do not change any other code or formatting, and be sure to format the "issueHighlightColor" key-value pair exactly as the example shows:

   • Surround the key and the value with straight quotes.
   • Add one space after the colon between the key and the value.
   • Add a comma after the value’s ending quote.
   • Check that you prefix the hex code with the hash (#) symbol.

   

4. Click Save.
5. Reload the Inkdoc with Cmd + R (Mac) or F5 (Windows) to refresh the settings.
6. Check that your comments show the custom color.
