The docs mention that to change the theme you can just set to use the Custom theme and then change the CSS and things should immediately be visible. I have been trying to change the CSS and it never seems to change. I've even gone so far as to copy the files of an existing one (say, tulips) to the custom directory and it still does not change. I've restarted numerous times, same thing.

Is there anything I'm missing? Is this logged anywhere?

Thanks again!

Try the in-config version. That is the recommended approach, now and will survive upgrades (just need to put back PwmConfiguration.xml).

That works, thanks. I guess that makes sense in terms of upgrading.

Select the "Embedded" theme, make sure the advanced options (View > Advanced) are visible, then enter/paste you custom CSS in the field Embedded CSS Stylesheet.

The logo is a background image for a small <div> tag. You can simply have the background of that tag changed and point it to any image on the web. I would recommend to put it somewhere on a location that you control.

The JavaScript allows you to add some custom code to initialize the page, add functionality, etc.

I have no clue... Your problem description is like "I did something and it did not work. Help". ...and I still don't know what you have changed, what you need and what does not work... Can't help you.
