On the Branding Management page (Configuration Menu > General > User Interface Settings > Alma Logo and Color Scheme), you can define a header logo, email logo, and/or login page logo for your institution, or define an email logo for specific libraries. You can also change the default primary color in the user interface, and configure the URL of your institution's privacy policy. (New for August) In addition, you can enable the user to choose their own color theme (see here).
- The Alma login button is always blue. It is not affected by the selected Alma theme.
