Dark Mode
As of 2022R1, Nexus supports Dark Mode throughout its interfaces.
Enabling Dark Mode
Dark Mode can be enabled in two ways:
External Python API
Dark Mode can be enabled/disabled temporarily per request using the external Python API available from the template editor. For example, to export a report as HTML in dark mode:
import cei
from template_editor import report_remote_server, report_objects
source = report_remote_server.Server(url="http://localhost:9000", username="nexus", password="cei")
source.validate()
source.export_report_as_html("e548be92-4052-11eb-aacb-2f34187eafe8", "C:/Users/me/Documents/htmlexport", query={'colormode': 'dark'})
The exported HTML will now be in dark mode. This is achieved by query={'colormode': 'dark'}. The default is light mode which can also be set by query={'colormode': 'light'}.
Setting this query produces a report URL equivalent to http://localhost:9000/reports/report_display/?view=e548be92-4052-11eb-aacb-2f34187eafe8&colormode=dark.
The colormode=dark query parameter is what temporarily enables dark mode only for that session. This is not saved for future requests and has to be added manually for each request.
If you're developing an external client that uses Nexus, you may also add this query parameter manually to any URL that you are requesting.
Nexus Web GUI
Dark Mode can be enabled/disabled from anywhere within Nexus using the navigation bar at the top. You need to be logged-in first. Click on the Hello, <user>! drop-down -> Dark Mode.
Almost every part of the Nexus GUI will now appear dark, including report templates and items within templates.
Here's an example:
