Looking to polish the appearance of your dashboards? We've added a few new options with dashboard tab styles, pulling page filters up to the top of the dashboard, showing help sections for each report on the dashboard, and font family customization.
We've added a new option for customizing the appearance of your dashboard tabs. The setting is available at an account level under your Account Skin page as the first option below Dashboard Styling:
Once you've changed from the default Buttons to Tabs, you'll see your dashboard page style change to something along the lines of the following image:
