Guacamole Branding

[Mr X0rcist <mr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to understand rather than creating new extension, for test
environment, won't it work if I directly update the

en.json for the text which I want to be changed/updaed

And also replace the logo file in images folder i.e.

*logo-144.png*  *logo-64.png*  *noguacamole-logo-24.png*

and restart the server?

Will it cause any issue or will it work in the test environment or do I
also need to change something else as well

thanks

Aside from my extension template (Thanks @Fabian for linking it), which in my
biased opinion is the best way to add branding to the login screen, I have
included a link to my repos wiki that links to posts describing how this is
done.

https://github.com/Zer0CoolX/guacamole-customize-loginscreen-extension/wiki/Helpful-Resources

As I explain in the readme for my extension template, doing this via an
extension has many benefits.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Is there any step by step process, for non-programmers to do the
branding ?

Appreciate your help.

If you wish to apply branding, you should really use the mechanism provided
for doing so: extensions. You will not be doing yourself any favors by
avoiding this.

Things are not designed to be modified in the way you describe. Even if it
seems to work, any such behavior is undefined and should not be relied
upon. It is bad practice.
