Theme Configuration

Themes are an important part of using the atmail 8 product to brand and market your business to your users. We allow the customization of the webmail product via the web admin, including the theme.

To change the theme, first login to your web admin dashboard.

If you are adding a theme to a new webmail domain, yourwebmail.com for example, you will need to first go to Webmail domains under the Services tab, select Create a new webmail domain, then enter your domain that end users will be going to in their browser.

Navigate to the Webmail themes section under the Services tab, then select your theme. If you don't yet have a theme created you can select the default theme "Slate".

Here you can upload two different logo images. These will ideally be PNG files with transparent backgrounds to allow colors to come through.

• Webmail Logo
  This is the image displayed in the top section of the sidebar after login.
  
• Login Page Logo
  This is the image displayed on the webmail login page if the selected theme is set to default for the webmail domain the user has navigated to in their browser.
  

If you are creating a new theme, toggle the Save as new theme option and be sure to specify a new name to avoid confusion later.
You can edit your theme details here including Name, which is shown to end users in their webmail settings, and Author and Comment for your own reference.

All remaining settings are color options with the exception of loginBackground which can be set to CSS containing a background image if preferred.
