Help center custom tab - link color

Help center custom tab - link color

I’m trying to add a custom tab to the main navigation in the Zoho Desk Help Center, for example to link to an external resource like a website. The problem is that any custom tab I add always shows up as a blue link – it doesn’t match the style of the built-in tabs, which have the correct color, font, and no underline.


I’ve tried giving my link the same class as the system tabs, wrapping it in a span, and even using inline CSS or custom CSS in the theme editor, but no matter what I do, the link still looks different from the default tabs. It seems like the built-in tabs are rendered with some kind of template variable or special handling, while any manually added link just gets the browser’s default link style.


Has anyone found a way to add a custom navigation tab in Zoho Desk that looks and feels exactly like the original tabs? Is there a CSS selector or workaround that will override the browser defaults and force the custom link to inherit all the right styles? Or is there some way to use the Zoho template system to add a custom item to the navigation bar?


Any tips or solutions would be really appreciated. Thanks!
