5.0.a - customizing themes, etc.

[ttownsend]

Hi again all,

I've just setup up a vanilla 5.0.a CE using the installer, and am trying to customize the login page, but things appear to changed between versions.
I have found many previous configuration threads for customizing themes, but many/most refer to elements that simply don't appear to be present in 5.0.a

For example, on the login page, the image file for the login page background is alfresco-logo.bg.jpg and is located in the Light theme/images folder, but there is no image used on the page (view source of page).

Does anyone know how to:
- place a full-page background image behind the credentials box on the login page?
(EDIT:  Solved. Edited the presentation.css file in the relevant theme folder and set body.alfresco-guest from background: none; to background: transparent url(images/alfresco-logo-bg.jpg) no-repeat
- place a mandatory checkbox for accepting terms of use (posted separately in this forum)?
- change the favicon?
- change the page title?

Many thanks in advance!

I agree, I am new to Alfresco, but have previously styled a lot of atlassian and Sharepoint products.

Alfresco is for sure different, and these links does not assist much, 4.X styling seems different, and the http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/themes-edit.html is not particular usefull.

Reverse engineering (inspects of pages through the browser) does not make much reference between styles/classes and the actual theme files…
