I just got into 10.2 with a test system. When using the active homepage, does everything have to be set to eye blistering white? I can’t figure out how to change it!
In Settings - Appearances. YOu can set any background you want.
It looks like those settings are for when you aren’t using active homepage.
Interestingly enough, now it looks totally broken. I saw “add logo” and tried it, not I get an error so active homepage won’t load and my main screen now has no “settings” button, or “menu” so, I can’t change anything.
FML. haha. This is a great introduction to 10.2…
I figured out how to add the tiles back in…
So it appears, that if you want the active homepage, that black and white is the only color choice you get. Can anyone verify that and/or tell me how I can change it while using active homepage?
I’ll defer to the active home page team but I know they were saying they have a lot of themes in their backlog. Those are good questions to abuse the Product Owners with next week at Insights

I plan on it!
Did anyone get an answer to this? We just started using the active desktop last week and our users hate the white background. I called Epicor and they gave me the info on the background settings you show above but they don’t work for us.
We just don’t use active homepage. EDD still has some things that need to grow before it’s useful/user friendly enough to actually implement, so other than EDD you get no advantage to go to it, therefore it’s easier to use the modern shell.
Fingers crossed that it will be fixed in 10.2.300. I’m hearing October …
Did you happen to hear which year?

Actually, SaaS users had their Pilot databases upgraded to 10.2.300 this last weekend and the first batch will go live next month.
And if they release the Kinetic Homepage with an all white only them, someone will be getting a strongly worded letter.
@aidacra - Does anyone know if on-prem customers can get 10.2.300.0 to start pilot testing as well? We realize it isn’t a release candidate, but the sooner we get on it, the more time we have to (help Epicor) iron out issues. I know we’d be OK signing something to get on a beta program for our test environment…
There is a program that allows certain on-premise customer access to pre-GA releases for controlled release testing–I can’t speak to the particulars. Your CAM would be best able to assist if your company is interested in finding out more about that program.
