Spotlight on Backgrounds

A Short Feature Interlude Before the Big Reveal…

First of all, let me say a big thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s campaign with Capterra! We got some really excellent feedback from so many of you and we’ll be responding to you all very soon.

At the moment we’re gearing up to release a few very exciting new features. I can’t tell you about them yet, but let’s just say next week is going to be a fun one 😉

While we’re preparing for the big reveal, I wanted to take a moment to highlight a little feature that could bring a bit more fun into your workday:

New Themes

In case you hadn’t spotted it yet, there’s a way to change your profile background shown at the bottom of your homepage. The backgrounds you’re familiar with are still there, along with our new blue-green gradient.

People asked us for some darker, more fun themes, so ‘Flynn’, ‘Tony’ & ‘Neo’ were born (the last three in the above image). These backgrounds and their neon borders were inspired by some of our favourite action movies. Can you guess which ones?

Changing Collection Backgrounds

Another little change we’ve made is to how you change collection backgrounds. Where there used to be a tab called ‘Backgrounds’, there is now the ‘Add-Ons’ tab.

You set your background by enabling Collection Themes. If you disable it again, you’ll see the default background or the one you’ve set from your profile settings. You can learn more about customization options here.

Did you know that you can upload your own backgrounds to personalize Zenkit even further? All it takes is a boost up to Plus membership! Learn more about our membership plans here.

What do you think about the new themes? What other themes or images would you like to see? We’re always open to your feedback, so let us know in the comments below or by email at hello@zenkit.com!

Cheers,

Zenkit Comment Policy

At Zenkit, we strive to post helpful, informative, and timely content. We want you to feel welcome to comment with your own thoughts, feedback, and critiques, however we do not welcome inappropriate or rude comments. We reserve the right to delete comments or ban users from commenting as needed to keep our comments section relevant and respectful.

What we encourage:

Smart, informed, and helpful comments that contribute to the topic. Funny commentary is also thoroughly encouraged.

Constructive criticism, either of the article itself or the ideas contained in it.

Found technical issues with the site? Send an email to service@zenkit.com and specify the issue and what kind of device, operating system, and OS version you are using.

Noticed spam or inappropriate behaviour that we haven’t yet sorted out? Flag the comment or report the offending post to hello@zenkit.com.

What we’d rather you avoid:

Rude or inappropriate comments

We welcome heated discourse, and we’re aware that some topics cover things people feel passionately about. We encourage you to voice your opinions, however in order for discussions to remain constructive, we ask that you remember to criticize ideas, not people.

Please avoid:

name-calling

ad hominem attacks

responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content

knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, threatening, or harassing may be removed. This includes racist, gendered, ableist, ageist, homophobic, and transphobic slurs and language of any sort. If you don’t have something nice to say about another user, don't say it. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

Trolling or generally unkind behaviour

If you’re just here to wreak havoc and have some fun, and you’re not contributing meaningfully to the discussions, we will take actions to remove you from the conversation. Please also avoid flagging or downvoting other users’ comments just because you disagree with them.

Spam

Every interpretation of spamming is prohibited. This means no unauthorized promotion of your own brand, product, or blog, unauthorized advertisements, links to any kind of online gambling, malicious sites, or otherwise inappropriate material.

Comments that are irrelevant or that show you haven’t read the article

We know that some comments can veer into different topics at times, but remain related to the original topic. Be polite, and please avoid promoting off-topic commentary. Ditto avoid complaining we failed to mention certain topics when they were clearly covered in the piece. Make sure you read through the whole piece before saying your piece!

Breaches of privacy

This should really go without saying, but please do not post personal information that may be used by others for malicious purposes. Please also do not impersonate authors of this blog, or other commenters (that’s just weird).
