Configuring enabled/disabled star icon colors

Highstage administrators can configure custom colors for the favorites button star icon to reflect that an item or search page is either favorited or not.

These color parameters can be configured by Highstage administrators with a minimum set userlevel of AdminWrite in the following manner:

• Navigate to SYSTEM > Parameters > UI parameters in the side navigation menu.
• Modify ActiveColor to alter the icon color to reflect that the user can add the current item or search page as a favorite (as it is currently not favorited).
• Modify InactiveColor to alter the icon color to reflect that the user can remove the current item or search page as a favorite (as it is currently favorited).

Highstage requires a Restart for any changes to take effect.
