Did you solve the same for UI16

Hello Dylan,

This is indeed a very helpful UI Script!

By any chance have you made a similar script that works in UI16 as well?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Awesome, thanks for the update. Please keep me posted on how this performs after it’s been out in the wild for a few months. If it’s stable I’ll probably just use this as the core solution once Fuji is being used by more companies.

// This is the colour of the background of the most recent selected item
// since the Application Navigator was loaded
var RECENT_SELECTION = "#4bd762";

// This is the colour of the background of items that have been selected
// at least once since the Application Navigator was loaded
var PAST_SELECTION = "transparent";

// This variable will contain the last-selected nav item so that
// it can be easily modified once the next item is selected
var lastSelectedNavItem;

function highlightSelectedNavItems() {

	try {
		var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

		// Once the Application Navigator iFrame has loaded, add an on-click
		// event to call the selectItem function
		$j("#gsft_nav").load(function(){
			$j("#gsft_nav").contents()
				.find(".nav_menu_header")
				.click(selectItem);
		});

	} catch(e) {}

	var selectItem = function () {

		// If an item is already highlighted, change it's background colour to
		// that of past selections.
		if (lastSelectedNavItem != undefined) {
			lastSelectedNavItem.css("background-color", PAST_SELECTION);
		}

		// We want to apply the background colour to the entire
		// module, not just the link we clicked
		lastSelectedNavItem = $j(this).parent('.app_module');

		// Set the background colour of the clicked item to that
		// of recent selections.
		lastSelectedNavItem.css("background-color", RECENT_SELECTION);
	}
}

addLoadEvent(highlightSelectedNavItems);

Thanks for the tip! UI14 (which is the UI used in Eureka instances of ServiceNow and beyond) changes the menu structure a bit. I’ve updated the script above with a fix. Give that a try and let me know how it works for you.

This feature looks cool and BTW I just tried to implement this in Eureka instance it is not working. Do you have any idea is their any restrictions of this code usability in Eureka instance?

Thank you…

I found the same: that it doesn’t work in Berlin unless I impersonate a different user. Then noticed: If I “Switch to old UI” it works, “Switch to new UI” it doesn’t, whatever the user. And when I impersonate a different user, I start out with the old UI (so it works).

The user preferences did the trick, I deleted them and now working for my user log in as well Thanks Mark!!!!!!

No idea other than differences between your preferences and a user that isn’t having the problem. User preferences really aren’t a big deal so you could even delete all of your preferences if you wanted to check quickly. Export your user preferences to XML first if you want to have a backup that you can re-import if necessary.
