Jenkins job status - Customize color / status of job

AKS picture AKS · Aug 20, 2015 · Viewed 33.1k times · Source

Is there a way to customize the status of a Jenkins job to use different icons or colors other than just simple blue/green ball icons.

Something like what we see in cloudbees Jenkins instance or similar.

https://jenkins.ci.cloudbees.com/

For more (if possible), I'd like an option to have the ball status for a queued build job to change to a different color or icon. For example, a clock/stop-watch or an hour glass, or maybe change the color to a clear white sphere. This would help new users avoid accidentally launching a queued build multiple times expecting the job status icon to start flashing and etc.

The following plugins can help to achieve what I'm looking for (to some degree).

  1. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Modern+Status+Plugin (I'll poke around in this plugin to see if I can change this "Modern Status" plugin -- to change the icon(s) for ex: change icon to a pending/hour glass icon if a build is sitting in "queue" and etc).

  2. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Distinguishable+Gray+Balls+Plugin

  3. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Custom+Job+Icon+Plugin (as Mike mentioned in the other reply) - to classify a job type (using various icons).
