Please review the ALM 15.50 Installation and Upgrade documentation.. here: ALM Installation Guide
Go to page: 135 of 190.
At that point there is almost no help with what you CAN or CANNOT do with the “features” I am interested in using:
1) Customizing the ALM Login Window (would like to use it to put announcements/maintenance notices/etc there)
2) Customize the background photo in the Login window (would like to brand this just a little with our logo/pic/something else.

DISPLAY ANNOUNCEMENTS ON LOGIN WINDOW

As far as the announcements go, you can do just about anything that you can do with HTML documents

- create lists
- add images
- add hyperlinks
- change font sizes, colors, etc.

Example of what the customizationInfo.htm (yes it has to be named customizationInfo.htm and it is case sensitive) file should start out with...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>

Once the file is in place, I restarted the service (mostly out of habit). After the service restart, I was able to add and remove content by editing the customizationInfo.htm file.

If you want to add images you will need to make an images folder in

<Deployment path>webapps\qcbin\Help\customization

and place the images in there

Here is the content that I placed in the file as you can see you can have lists, change the fonts, add images, etc.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>There will be pizza in the breakroom for lunch 2-9-2021</li>
<li><font color="green" face="arial" size="4">The sever will be down for maintenance 2-9-2021 starting at 11 PM</font></li>
<li><font color="red" face="arial" size="6">Everyone should logout of ALM by 10 PM tonight</font></li>
</ul>
<br><img width="200" height="250" alt="" src="images/server-down.jpg" border="1"><br>
</body>

The only real downfall that I can see is that there is no way to change the size of the announcement area. I did find an enhancement request for this but it was deferred.

CUSTOMIZING THE BACKGROUND WINDOW

This will allow you to replace the standard background image with another image.

This file had to be named login-bg-cust.jpg (it is case sensitive) and placed in the

<Deployment path>webapps\qcbin\images

directory

If you change this image the login information will still be in front of any picture that you place there.

If you want to change the image you will have to shut down the ALM service before removing the previous image or you will get a file in use error.

Again there is an enhancement request that has already been submitted to allow modification of the layout of this page and it was deferred
