How to Change the Branding

Follow these steps to customize your VergeOS environment:

  1. Upload the desired logo in .png or .jpg format to Media Images. - For best results, use a 144x36 image for the large logo and 44x44 for the small logo.

  2. If desired, upload a favicon in .ico format to Media Images.

  3. From the Main Dashboard, navigate to System -> Settings -> Edit UI Branding.
