We released another minor UX option for your status pages.
Now you can choose where to place the menu bar, either at the top, bottom or both sections of the status page.
The menu bar contains the buttons: subscribe, history, maintenance, report issue
You may still disable the report and subscribe buttons too.
Modify your menu bar’s placement in the Dashboard Design view.

Many customers have requested more design functionality. UX is going to be our top priority for the month of April — We have a whole slew of fantastic features planned…
In the mean time, we are rolling out some minor pieces of the design puzzle. Today we’re announcing official support for custom HTML.
Write your own code and it will be injected into the header and footer areas of your status page.
This is a great place to link back to your website, engineering blog, social media or pretty much whatever your heart desires.
Get started in the Dashboard Design view.
We’re always happy to help if you run into any issues or have a suggestion. Contact us anytime.
Status level colors are used to visually indicate the current status of a specific component, container or incident.
Example: The table of components at the top of the status page are each colored according to the current status.
Here’s what each color means:
Green — OK / Operational
Blue — Maintenance
Orange — Warning / Partial outage / Degraded performance
Red — Emergency / Major outage / Security issue
Up until now, every status page used the same shade of each color.
Starting today you may choose your own colors. Use the Dashboard Design view to pick your colors.
Instead of strictly controlling the status of components with incidents or maintenances, you may now toggle the status of each component right from your Dashboard.
This functionality already existed within our API and it’s also how we implemented automated status toggles via emails and Pingdom. Now you may do it manually.
To change a component status, click the container and then choose from the component drop-down.
