Customizing Tour Branding

Your hint bubbles should feel native to your product. The Branding editor lets you customize everything with a live preview.

Accessing the Branding Editor


On the Sites page, click Branding in the top toolbar. A modal opens with all customization options and a live preview at the bottom.

Customization Options

Colors


  • Primary Color — Main button and highlight color (e.g., #f59e0b)

  • Secondary Color — Supporting accent color (e.g., #d97706)

  • Background Color — Tooltip background (e.g., #ffffff for white)

  • Text Color — Title and description text (e.g., #1f2937 for dark gray)
  • Click the color swatch to pick a color, or type a hex code directly.

    Border Radius


    Use the slider to adjust corner roundness from sharp (0px) to fully rounded. The default 12px gives a modern, friendly look.

    Font Family


    Choose from the dropdown or select Default (inherit from site) to automatically match your website's typography.

    Button Style


    Three options for the Next/Back/Finish buttons:
  • Filled — Solid background with your primary color

  • Outline — Transparent with a colored border

  • Ghost — Minimal, text-only buttons
  • Live Preview


    The preview section at the bottom shows exactly how your hint bubbles will look. Every change updates in real time — no guessing, no surprises.

    Per-Site Branding


    Each website has its own isolated branding configuration. If you manage multiple sites, each one can have completely different colors, fonts, border radius, and button styles.

    For example:

  • yourapp.com — Orange primary, filled buttons, 12px radius

  • docs.yourapp.com — Blue primary, outline buttons, 8px radius

  • admin.yourapp.com — Dark theme, ghost buttons, 4px radius
  • Switching between sites in the sidebar automatically loads that site's branding. No conflicts, no overrides.

    Saving and Resetting


  • Save Branding — Apply your customizations to all hints on this site

  • Reset — Revert to default styling

  • Cancel — Close without saving changes
  • Tips

    Start with your brand's primary color. Set Primary Color to match your product's main button color for instant consistency.

    Keep background and text high-contrast. White background with dark text is the safest choice for readability.

    Try all three button styles. Filled works for most products, but Outline or Ghost can look cleaner on minimal UIs.

    Use "inherit from site" for fonts. This ensures your hints match your product's typography automatically.
