Hi guys,

I am building a CRM-style app and I have one small problem I’m running into.

In the list as you can see here:

 ![CleanShot 2023-02-05 at 22.47.57@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/1/b1ba06c98df8117eabe9694afdd5069acd26ca02.jpeg)

I want to change the color of the group labels. Preferably a colored background and a different color text. This would make it much more easy to navigate.

Does anyone know if this is possible and how it could be done? I saw another question where someone said it works with rich text on other pages, but as this is not a detail page it’s not possible to work with that answer.

General remark: it would be great to have more specific design functions on several pages/

> You can customize the color of the group labels in the list by using the Group option in the Layout Editor. In the Group section, you can select the color of the label background and the color of the text. You can also customize the font size and font weight.

The bot is inventing features that don’t exist.

Short answer is no, it’s not possible to do what you are asking.

If CSS is involved, don’t fully relay on that long term. You may get a year or so out of it before you lose the ability.

You can do it with custom css, but it doesn’t guarantee that it can be used in the future.
