Harvester UI · Developed by us

On Prime, the UI says SUSE Virtualization and uses the SUSE colours

On a Prime cluster the logo already read "SUSE Virtualization", but every page still said "Harvester", and the standalone UI used its own lighter green. Now the product name follows Prime in 56 places, and standalone Prime uses the same SUSE theme as Rancher Prime.

What changes for the user

On Prime, page titles, help texts, settings and add-on descriptions say "SUSE Virtualization" instead of "Harvester" (56 texts).
This works in the standalone Prime UI and inside Rancher 2.16 Prime.
Standalone Prime now uses the Rancher Prime look: the darker SUSE green with white button text, the same link blue, focus colours and fonts. Before, only the main green was swapped.
Nothing changes without Prime, or inside Rancher older than 2.16: those still say "Harvester".

The flow

The cluster Dashboard

On a Prime cluster, the page title now matches the logo above it.

Dashboard title: before Harvester Cluster: local, after SUSE Virtualization Cluster: local — Before, the logo said SUSE Virtualization while the title said Harvester. The selected menu item also shows the new green.

The Support page and help texts

The Support title and the support bundle text use the Prime name. Settings and add-on descriptions do too.

Support page: before Harvester Support with a green hills banner, after SUSE Virtualization Support with the SUSE banner — The banner picture also switches to the one Rancher Prime uses, because it comes with the SUSE theme.

The SUSE colours, light theme

Standalone Prime now uses the same theme as Rancher Prime.

Virtual Machines list: before light green buttons with dark text, after darker SUSE green with white text — Before, the green was a light one with dark text. After, the Create button, the selected menu item and the active toggle use the darker SUSE green with white text, as in Rancher Prime.

The SUSE colours, dark theme

In dark mode the main green was already right. The selected item and the active toggle now match Rancher Prime.

Virtual Machines list in dark mode: the selected menu item changes from bright green to a pale mint — This one is a small change: the pale mint highlight is what Rancher Prime shows in dark mode.

Harvester without Prime is unchanged

On our non-Prime test Harvester, the logo, title and colours stay as they were.

Before and After look the same. We also checked Rancher 2.15.1 with the new version loaded: all 56 texts say Harvester.

Inside Rancher 2.16 Prime

Opening the same Prime cluster from Rancher 2.16 Prime shows SUSE Virtualization too.

Rancher 2.16 Prime, Virtualization Management cluster dashboard titled SUSE Virtualization Cluster: harvester-118 — Only "After" here: our Rancher already runs the new version, and the official release before it says "Harvester Cluster", like step 5.

Notes

The login page still says "Welcome to Harvester" on Prime: the UI only learns it is Prime after login. It would need the server to tell it earlier.
Still open (issue 66): the Support and docs links still point to the Harvester sites (we are waiting for the SUSE links), and the cluster icon in Rancher is still the Harvester one.
Inside Rancher, the name follows Rancher Prime. A Rancher 2.16 server that runs an older Rancher UI on purpose would show the raw placeholder instead of the name. We accepted this, as it is a rare setup.
