- General System Administrator
For a tech blog article describing this topic see How to enable each user to be able to change his or her Alma color scheme.
- The Alma login button is always blue. It is not affected by the selected Alma theme.
- It is not currently possible for libraries to customize the Alma favicon (small icon that displays in a browser's favorites) with its logo.
- On the Branding Management page, make sure that your institution is selected.
- Under Logo Upload, browse to select the following:
The acceptable formats for the logos are PNG, JPG and GIF. Logos in other formats do not display in Alma.
Logo Required Size More Information Header logo (to be displayed in the top-left corner of Alma) 69 pixels (width) x 26 pixels (height) Login page logo 110 pixels (width) x 36 pixels (height) Email logo 400 pixels (width) x 30-70 pixels (height) If an email logo is not uploaded, the header logo is used as the email logo.
You can define other logos for emails that go out from particular libraries. To do that, select the desired library instead of the institution.
When logos are defined on both the institution and the library levels, the logo displayed on the email is determined as follows:
- If the organization unit is Library, and a library logo exists for that library, the library logo is displayed.
- If organization unit is Library and no library logo exists for that library, the institution logo is displayed.
- If organization unit is Institution, the Institution logo is displayed.
- Select Save to save your changes. Note that to see your changes, you must clear your cache, log out, and then log in again.
- On the Branding Management page, make sure that your institution is selected.
- In Color Theme, select the desired color theme. A preview of the selected color theme will display below the Choose basic color field.
- Select Save to save your changes. Note that to see your changes, you must clear your cache, log out, and then log in again.
To enable the user to choose their own color scheme:
- On the Branding Management page go to the Color Theme - New UI section.
- For the "Allow users to select a different color theme for their environment:" option, select Yes.
- Select Save to save your changes. Note that to see your changes, you must clear your cache, log out, and then log in again.
- The color scheme appears under the users UI Preferences.
- Select Reset to default to set the color theme back to the institutional settings.
Enter a valid URL in Privacy Policy Link at the bottom of the Branding Management page.
When set to any value, the link Institution Privacy Policy appears at the bottom of every Alma page with the URL set to the value you entered. Alma does not validate that you entered a valid URL, so ensure that you do. If you enter an invalid URL, selecting the link results in an error.
