Question
How to change Plesk title, logo, favicon and background image for login screen?
Answer
Starting on Plesk version 18.0.59 the ability to configure a custom background for the login page was added at Tools & Settings > Branding under Plesk Appearance section.
The following items can be edited:
-
Custom title:
-
Custom Logo:
-
Custom Favicon:
-
Custom Background:
The supported file formats for these customizations are *.apng, *.avif, *.bmp, *.gif, *.ico, *.jpeg, *.png, *.svg, *.tiff, and *.webp. Understanding the background fit options — Fill, Fit, Center, Tile — can help in achieving the desired appearance for your Plesk background:
- Fill - the image fills the entire screen area
- Fit - enlarge or shrink the image according to your screen’s width to get a proper fit
- Center - smaller images will set with a border on your screen whereas the larger images will display only the center part of the image leaving the rest out of view.
- Tile - this setting sets the multiple tiles of the image on your monitor and suits best to the small texture images
CLI/API
