xNavigation provides site administrators colour schemes for the Navigation module, offering flexible styling options for administration menus without the need to modify templates. By adding a variety of colour schemes (such as Blackstone and Core), users can enhance the visual experience of the administration navigation menus in their Drupal sites.

Features

The xNavigation module provides the following key feature:

Selectable colour schemes configuration for the Navigation menus, allowing users to select a colour scheme without any coding knowledge.

This module is ideal for site administrators and developers looking to quickly style the site’s navigation elements using pre-built colour schemes, while avoiding manual CSS overrides or template modifications.

With xNavigation, developers and site administrators can set a different colour scheme to each environment, like “dev” or “prod.”

Post-Installation

After installation, the xNavigation module provides a configuration page at /admin/config/user-interface/xnavigation/settings. From this page, site administrators can:

  • Choose from available colour schemes (e.g., Blackstone, Slate, Core and more).
  • Save the selected colour scheme to be applied dynamically to the administration navigation elements.

No additional setup is required beyond configuring the module on this settings page.

Additional Requirements

This module requires no additional dependencies beyond Drupal core. However, it requires the new Navigation module.

Similar projects

While there are modules that offer enhanced menu styling, such as Menu Block or Admin Toolbar, the xNavigation module stands out by providing dynamic colour scheme management specifically for the Navigation module elements, without requiring manual template changes or extensive CSS knowledge.

Extensions

Consider using the “Navigation Extra Tools” to bring back options to clear cache, run cron, and run updates that was provided by the Admin Toolbar Extra Tools module.
