Feature Request - Select a custom color for GUI's Menu bar color

[davidjoshuaford]

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

• I believe this to be a feature for companion, not a module

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the feature

Hopefully an easy feature to implement in the Settings page: I would like to be able to select a custom color to replace the red in the title menu bar in the GUI:

Usecases

When using multiple companion servers on the same network, it's easy to edit the wrong instance if you have multiple tabs open and don't check the IP.

Being able to set the top bar color would provide quick visual feedback that you're working on the right one.

For instance, my main companion installation could remain red, but I could set my CompanionPi color to purple, so that if I flick between pages, it's immediately apparent which instance I am working on.

At the same time as doing this, it would be good to also have a customisable 'name' shown where the version is. (perhaps version should move to the right side of that space instead?)

Making that colour customisable is very doable, but will require some changes to how the page loads, otherwise it will be red until the 'syncing' is complete then will switch to the target colour. Not terrible if it isnt fixed, but not ideal

Great idea - custom name would be helpful, particularly in team environments to communicate clearly.

I back the idea of a customisable server name.
For the color part I'd suggest an adjustable theme, this would serve more purposes then just tinting the bar on top.
