Eliminating Theme Color on Mobile Browser URL Tab.

KARAM_SIDHU

My site is appearing as in the image above by default on mobile browser, this is due to the color set at the appearance as preferred. However, I would like to eliminate the set color specifically from appearing in the tab and maintain its use-case on other elements. I've tried adding custom css and html meta tag based on browser inspection >> elements but somehow doesn't work.

Anyone knows the exact element to specify to get it eliminated, I want the tab color to be similar as the background color of the flarum body background which is white.

Have you tried adding the following code to the Customize > Header area?

<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">

Umutcan I've tried this before by adding it at the custom header, but still the same, it didn't work.

$meta = [
    'viewport' => 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1',
    'description' => Arr::get($forumApiDocument, 'data.attributes.description'),
    'theme-color' => '#ffffff' 
];

Subarist less preferred due to its nature of modification at core - solely for a theme color aspect. In addition to that, it might get overwritten with future updates. Any alternative?

Your consideration makes sense, but I’ve tested some methods, including using JavaScript to dynamically replace the color, and it does have a time lag. Modifying the code is the simplest solution I know of. I think the intention behind it is just to maintain color consistency, and perhaps in future versions, the core might remove this .

I think this might be doable with a local extender. I'd have to test it though. Using javascript definitely is not going to be a solution as not all Browsers respect the dynamic change after page load

luceos Good Idea.

It doesn't work. I've tried both ways, As suggested by @Umutcan which was my default tested method but somehow tried it again as well as via the directory as suggested by @Subarist.

Any other method to sort the color issue?
