Customize the RD Web Access theme on RDS 2016

After you install the theme, you can add your own logo, background and text. You do this by replacing files in the theme's theme-assets folder.

Find the theme assets#

Open the theme-assets folder for the language you are customizing:

C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages\en-US\theme-assets

Replace en-US with your language folder. This folder holds the logo, background, help icon, favicon and the customStrings.js file.

Replace the images#

Save your image with the file name in the table, then copy it into theme-assets and replace the existing file.

The sizes are recommendations, except the logo height. You can use larger or smaller images: place them, check the page in a browser and adjust.

Change the page text#

1. Open customStrings.js in theme-assets with a text editor, such as Notepad.

2. Change the values of these variables:

   Variable	Text it sets
   titleText	The page title shown in the browser tab
   footerText	The footer text, such as your copyright line
   logonLabel	The label of the logon button

3. Save the file.

Troubleshooting#

• Windows is on a different drive. This guide uses C:\ because it is the most common system drive. If Windows is installed on another drive, use that drive letter instead.
• Your changes don't show in the browser. This is usually the browser cache. Do a hard refresh or clear the browser cache, then reload the page.
• Something went wrong. Restore the backup of the default files you made before installing. Always back up the default interface files before you install a theme, customize it or apply an update.
