Change the New User email Template was created by oc.oscarcruz

Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: 6.1.7
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Selfhosted
Survey theme/template: Fruity variant
==================

Hi. New user focused on customize the look and feel.
Recently I send an email to a new user (nor participant), someone to help with surveys (its an hypotetic case, I have no one yet), but the email has a template, with green accents (as the whole fruity theme) but I want it to be gray (as my heart), so... Can someone point me in the right direction?
I just find information too old to be useful, I just have couple of days in here.

Not sure if the Survey´s email templates are useful here, none seems to fit with the New User email template to deliver credentials.
Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

OC.

The Email template for the email that is sent to new users / survey admins to access the Limesurvey installation can be found in "global settings" --> "user administration". However, looking at the code, there is nothing that would insert "green highlights".

Code:

<p>Hello {FULLNAME},</p>
 
<p>This is an automated email notification that a user has been created for you on the website <strong>'{SITENAME}'</strong>.</p>
 
<p> </p>
 
<p>You can use now the following credentials to log in:</p>
 
<p><strong>Username</strong>: {USERNAME}</p>
 
<p><a href="{LOGINURL}">Click here to set your password</a></p>
 
<p>If you have any questions regarding this email, please do not hesitate to contact the site administrator at {SITEADMINEMAIL}.</p>
 
<p> </p>
 
<p>Thank you!</p>

Could you post a screenshot of the email, so we can understand what you are referring to?

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Sure.
Im not completly sure that I wrote in my best senses... Im just tired.
When I wrote highlights or accents, I meant the html format.
There´s a green button, and some green cells / tables in the header / footer. Isnt plain text, but html.

And, now that I see it, isnt also a "NEW USER EMAIL", its an email for "RESET CREDENTIALS". I was testing the smtp email setting. Previusly it send a plain text email with the new user stuff.

So, I want to costumize that template...but, not sure where to find it.

Thanks for your hepl!

*edit. I just added the NEW USER EMAIL for reference. Its plain text.
**edit II. Seems not that relevant, because other email templates have no html desing at all, like the invitation for complete a survey, but now its more than a curiosity, and I would like to understand, where that template is located... for sure. Could be good to be able to edit all these individually.
