Overview
Luminous has rolled out a visual refresh that updates the application's color palette and reskins the left-hand navigation menu. This is a cosmetic update only — no workflows, navigation paths, or features have changed. This is Phase 1 of broader main menu enhancements planned for later in the summer.
How It Works (Step-by-Step)
The UI refresh applies automatically to your Luminous account. No setup or action is required on your part.
- Log in to Luminous at your account URL as you normally would.
- Notice the updated left-hand navigation sidebar — the active menu highlights, icons, and selected states now reflect the new color palette (a refreshed purple/violet tone).
- Navigate through your core modules to see the new styling applied consistently. Key areas to check include:
- Sales Orders (Operations > Sales Orders or Operations > Sales Order Grid)
- Fulfillment Orders (Operations > Fulfillment Orders)
- Purchase Orders (Inventory > Purchase Orders)
- CRM company profiles (Sales > CRM > Companies)
- Channels (Manage > Channels).
- Notice the refreshed purple/violet accent color on buttons like "+ Create," "Actions," "Filter," and "Refresh Table," as well as on toggle switches, hyperlinked record names, and active filter states throughout the app.
What's Changed
Color Palette The primary accent color has shifted to a refined purple/violet tone. You'll see this across action buttons, active navigation highlights, toggle switches, status indicators (such as Pending, Shipped, and Cancelled dots on Sales Orders), and clickable record links.
Main Navigation Sidebar The left-hand menu now uses the updated color scheme for active item highlights and icons. The structure, labels, and paths of the menu are identical to before — only the visual appearance has changed.
Consistent Coverage Across Modules The reskin applies uniformly across all major areas:
Sales Orders — updated status indicators and button colors
Purchase Orders — refreshed accent on action links and filters
Fulfillment Orders — consistent new palette on status badges and column links
CRM Company Profile — updated sidebar highlights and button styling
Channels — toggle switches, links, and active filters in the new color
Tips & Best Practices
All features, navigation paths, and workflows are exactly the same — only the colors and styling have been refreshed.
FAQs & Troubleshooting
Is this update applied automatically or do I need to do something? It's automatic. No action is required. All users in your account will see the new styling the next time they log in.
Has anything changed about how the system works? No. This is a visual-only update. Every workflow, navigation path, and feature works exactly as before.
The colors in our internal training docs look different from what I see in Luminous now. Is something wrong? Nothing is wrong — your existing screenshots were taken before the refresh. Consider updating them over time to match the new look.
Why does the status pill color on my Fulfillment Orders (e.g., Pending, Error) look the same? The order status indicator colors (yellow for Pending, red for Error, green for Shipped, etc.) are functional and were not changed. Only the brand/accent color — used for buttons, links, toggles, and active menu states — was updated.
Will there be more UI changes coming? Yes. Luminous has indicated this is Phase 1. Additional main menu enhancements are planned for later in the summer. Watch for future update announcements.
