Theming
With our theming feature you are able to customize the look and feel of your Nextcloud instance according to the corporate design of your organization by replacing Nextcloud logo and color with your own assets.
The theming-app is enabled by default so the section should appear by default in your admin-settings. If not, check in the apps management that this app is enabled.
Modify the appearance of Nextcloud
You can change the following parameters of the look and feel on your instance:
Name (e.g. ACME Inc. Cloud)
Web Address (e.g. https://acme.inc/)
Slogan
Color: The color of header bar, checkboxes and folder icon
Logo: The logo will appear in the header and on the log in page. Default has 62/34 px.

Additional legal links (Legal notice and Privacy policy link)
Custom header logo and favicon as alternative to auto-generation based on logo
Configure theming through CLI

Theming of icons
According to the parameters you have set, Nextcloud will automatically generate favicons and a header logo depending on the current logo and theming color.
This requires the following additional dependencies:
PHP module
imagick
SVG support for imagick (e.g.
libmagickcore-6.q16-3-extra
on Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04)
Note
In the advanced options of the theming app you are able to set a custom favicon in case you do not want to use the same logo resources you have set above or you do not want to install the mentioned dependencies.

The theming app supports to change the URLs to the mobile apps (Android & iOS) that
is shown when the webinterface is opened on one of those devices. Then there was a
header shown, that redirects the user to the app in the app store. By default
this redirects to the Nextcloud apps. In some cases it is wanted that this
links to branded versions of those apps. In those cases the IDs and URLs can be
set via the occ
-command:
occ config:app:set theming AndroidClientUrl --value "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextcloud.client"
