Styling the presenter Apps

The Maglr Presenter apps take their logos, colors and fonts from one navigation environment in your dashboard. A navigation environment is the set of styling and navigation settings for everything published on its domains. You set up and choose this environment under Settings > Navigation environment. For more about environments, see The navigation environment.


The Presenter apps are available for desktop and tablet with the Presenter module.

Choosing the environment for the Presenter apps


To choose which navigation environment the Presenter apps use, switch on "Use this environment for Presenter apps" in that environment's settings. This matters when your account has more than one environment, for example one per brand, department or country, each with its own styling.


  1. Go to Settings > Navigation environment.
  2. Click Edit settings on the environment the Presenter apps should use.
  3. In the General tab, under Special settings, switch on Use this environment for Presenter apps.
  4. Click Save navigation.


The environment now shows "Default for app" in the list of environments. When a user logs in to a Presenter app, the app loads the logos, colors and fonts of this environment.


Switch this option on in one environment only. Turning it on in one environment does not turn it off in the others. If more than one environment has it on, you can't control which of them the apps use. To move the apps to a different environment, switch the option off in the old environment and on in the new one.


If no environment has the option on, the Presenter apps take their logos, colors and fonts from your account's default environment.

Styling the Presenter apps


The Presenter apps use the logos, colors and fonts set in the navigation environment chosen for the apps. If you have already styled this environment for your online publications, the apps use the same styling without further setup.


To change the styling of the Presenter apps:


  1. Go to Settings > Navigation environment.
  2. Click Edit settings on the environment marked "Default for app". If no environment shows this tag, first choose one as described in Choosing the environment for the Presenter apps.
  3. Upload or change your logos in the Logos tab.
  4. Set colors and fonts in the Colors & fonts tab.
  5. Click Save navigation.


The parts of the environment that style the Presenter apps are:


  • Logos: the logos in the Logos tab.
  • Overview colors: the colors under Overview basic style and Section projects in the Colors & fonts tab.
  • Button colors: the Buttons colors under Overview basic style and under Side menu in the Colors & fonts tab.
  • Side menu colors: the colors under Side menu in the Colors & fonts tab.
  • Fonts: the fonts under Fonts in the Colors & fonts tab.


A navigation environment can be used by the Presenter apps and by online publications at the same time. Style changes you make for the apps also apply to all online publications on that environment's domains.

Setting the navigation menu in the Presenter apps


The navigation menu that appears inside a presentation in the Presenter apps has its own settings, separate from the menu of your online publications. You set it in the Presenter apps tab of the navigation environment chosen for the apps.


  1. Go to Settings > Navigation environment.
  2. Click Edit settings on the environment marked "Default for app". If no environment shows this tag, first choose one as described in Choosing the environment for the Presenter apps.
  3. Go to the Navigation menu tab and open the Presenter apps tab.
  4. Under Choose navigation type, select No menu, Classic menu or Minimal menu.
  5. Optional: under Extra navigation arrows, select the type of arrows, such as Arrows left and right or Arrows carousel.
  6. Optional: under Options, switch on Automatically hide menubar. The menu then disappears within 2 seconds after the app opens, and users can show it again with a double tap.
  7. Click Save navigation.


Using the presentation overview


The Presenter apps open on a fixed overview where users select the presentation to download, and this overview can't be changed. Inside a presentation, the app shows the navigation menu set for the Presenter apps.


You can give your online publications the same kind of overview. In the navigation environment's Overview page tab, select Presentation overview. This option is available with the Presenter module.


Frequently asked questions


Which navigation environment do the Presenter apps use if none is selected?


If no navigation environment has "Use this environment for Presenter apps" switched on, the Presenter apps take their logos, colors and fonts from your account's default environment. To use a different environment, switch the option on in that environment's General tab, under Special settings.


Do style changes for the Presenter apps also change my online publications?


Yes. The Presenter apps take their styling from a navigation environment, and that environment also styles the online publications on its domains. Any change to its logos, colors or fonts applies to both.


Can I use a different overview page in the Presenter apps?


No. The Presenter apps always open on a fixed overview where users select the presentation to download.
