Logo and Favicon

Logo

The fastest way to customize your wiki is to simply upload your own logo. The wiki will automatically fit the image into the top bar.

Note: The maximum dimensions for the logo are 300 x 64 pixels. If you upload a larger image, it will be cut off.

To upload your logo:

1. Click Select a file to choose a file from your file explorer or drag the file into the dotted area of the Logo upload area.

Tips for working with the logo

• Alignment: The logo is placed at the left side of the top bar without any padding or margin applied. The easiest way to make your logo fit: Put it on a 300 x 64 pixel canvas in an image editor and position the actual logo with the desired padding within that area. Then upload your logo.
• Adjusting placement and size: If you have a standard logo that you don't want to reposition on a canvas before uploading, simply upload your logo and add the following to the Free CSS area in FlexiSkin and save the page.

                    @media (min-width: 1001px) {
header nav.navbar {
    padding-left:0; /*add a padding to the left of your logo, e.g. change from 0 10px*/
 }
    #p-logo .bs-logo {
        width:100%; /*sets available logospace to the entire width of the main navigation*/
 }
#p-logo .bs-logo a {
    background-size: auto 100%; /* width is set to automatically resize based on height. Set height to up to 90% */
 }
}

                

It should look like this:

You can adjust the background size and left-padding as needed.

Favicon

You can also upload your own favicon. The favicon is the image that is shown in the browser tabs. Follow the steps for uploading a logo, just use the favicon upload area instead.

After saving the page, you will see your custom image in the browser tabs of your wiki pages.
