Is it at all possible to have different colors appear in a flex header? Different text colors or even background color for the entire header (without having to use up any of the icon elements)?
Yes, it sure is possible. We test some data important to our org in our lp_ for custom headers and return the color code (example below). Simply pass that value to the background color within infomaker. If you need more detail let me know.
Colors:

select @color = case when category = 'Buyer' then 65535 when category = 'Advocate' then 255 when category is null then 0 else 0 endfrom lv_sometable_pliwhere customer_no = @customer_no
Thanks, Travis! I was hoping it would be possible to get colors into our current flex header set-up without having to create custom InfoMaker headers, but this is great to know if we do end up going with custom headers.
Travis,
I may circle back to you on this at a later date if that's alright.

You can just make a copy of the procedures and infomaker object. It really is relatively painless. If you want, I could put an hour or so aside and walk you through sometime next week.
No problem Dot.
