Hi,
iam not sure that editing the theme will affect the share login page, maybe only the user interface once authenticated. Iam actually trying this tutorial (http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/dev-extensions-share-tutorials-override-login-page.html), but it doesnt lead me anywhere, seems like iam stuck and i dont know what files to modify to achieve my goal.
i request help if someone knows anything about that, the purpose being just to add a background image and to change the alfresco logo on the login page. This was way easier with early 4.x versions, but now that things have changed in 5.0x, its quite complicated.
EDIT:
I found a way to achieve this goal without having to code an override login page for Alfresco, wich might be difficult for some people like me who dont have advanced programming skills (iam working on it
). I also have to say that you MUST have a stable alfresco installation, as the changes you will make will be wiped out if you install an AMP or do something implying the share client to recompile at server startup, so make backups of your modified files AND your original files before customization.
1 - Login page LOGO:
Edit the presentation.css of the theme you are currently using in the corresponding theme folder:
line 1502, edit the .theme-company-logo element:
DONT forget to drop your-logo.png file in the theme images folder. restart the server and youll see that the alfresco community logo has been replaced with yours.
2- Login page background image:
Edit the login.css file, add this element to the sheet:
DONT forget to drop your-bg-image.jpg in Alf-home/tomcat/webapps/share/components/images
restart the server and there you go.
I know this method isn't "clean" and needs to be improved, but maybe it can help some of the community members.

-webkit-background-size: cover;
