How do I customize the logo on the login screen?


Replace the GIF image with you own.

You may customize the login screen of everythingHelpDesk to your own company logo or other custom image by replacing the .gif for eHD v9.x or .png for eHD V10.x file.

 The files are called

 "helpdeskHeader.gif" for v9.x  and "logo.png" for v10.x - Make sure you make a backup copy of these files in case you ever decide to revert back to the regular image.

These files are located  in your /tomcat/webapps/ehelpdesk/images folder. You will need to rename your file to one of the above file name and replace the file in the directory indicated.  The dimensions of these files needs to be 169x50 pixels for v9.x and 143x52 pixels for v10.x. It also has to be a .gif or .png file. Make sure you keep the image to the size requirements as a larger image will make the eHD toolbar at the top larger and not function properly, as the image is both used for the login screen and the logo in the upper left of the eHD toolbar.

Once you replace the image with your own image, you will need to restart tomcat.  Also make sure you do a force refresh in your browser to reload the images that are cached.

 

You can also change the color of the login box.

 

The file to edit is:

"login.jsp" Make sure you make a backup copy of this file in case you ever decide to revert back to the regular image.

The file is located in your /tomcat/webapps/ehelpdesk/WEB-INF/jsp directory.  Open this file using a text editor, Find word "990000".  This is the current color code for the login screen (red). The line in the JSP should read:

 <table bgcolor="#990000" style="min-width:350px">

You can find your own Color Code Here

Once you have chosen a color, replace the #990000 with the one from the website that corresponds with your chosen color, i.e. for Blue is #0000FF.  My new line looks like this:

  <table bgcolor="#0000FF" style="min-width:350px">

 

You will need to restart tomcat. Also make sure you do a force refresh in your browser to reload the images that are cached.
