Forwarding this here, as I think that might make a few people happy : )

Btw, unlike other solutions for editing themes through online forms, this is fully open source, and the ability to setup the editable theme is being contributed upstream - let me know if you have questions, comments on the approach, or if you want to adopt this for your own hosting.

You can now customize colors and use your own logo!
We are excited to announce that the most-requested feature just landed in the self-hosted offer of OpenCraft Hosting!  

You can now customize colors and use your own logo for your OpenEdX instance. If you log into https://console.opencraft.com, you will see new theming related fields on the registration form.

 

There are four color fields that allow you to customize these four colors:

  • Main color: This is the most prominent color in the theme. It is used for button backgrounds among other things.

  • Link color: Color used for links.

  • Header background color: Used as the background color for the header.

  • Footer background color: Used as the background color for the footer.


Under the color fields, you will see two file upload fields:
  • Logo: The logo displayed in the top left corner of the page, visible throughout the LMS.

  • Favicon: The icon used in the browser tab/toolbar.
     

 


 

After you submit the form with your desired values, we will deploy the changes for you. Note that for now we have included a manual validation step, so the changes can take 24-48h during business hours to be applied.

 

Please note that this is only the beginning! We will be adding more features in the future - let us know if anything is missing, and make sure to vote in the list of features requests.

Also note that if the self-hosting offer isn’t enough for your needs, you can ask us about the institution/enterprise offering, and get additional customizations, extended theming, custom developments, guaranteed availability and services such as Analytics/Insights or e-commerce.

We hope you will enjoy using our OpenEdX theming features and are looking forward to your feedback!
