Dear Open edX community,

I installed tutor with docker on a server running Ubuntu 20.04.

There is some easy way to customize the appearance of my LMS? I would like to add new logos, new texts, new images, change colors, customize the CSS of the login page, etc.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Alain

Hello @rax and welcome to the community!

To customize your LMS tutor you can use the following guide provided by tutor itself:  
[https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/tutorials/theming.html](https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/tutorials/theming.html)

I hope this will help.

Hi @rax!

For simple customizations, we have created the [tutor-contrib-branding](https://github.com/aulasneo/tutor-contrib-branding) plugin, which allows you to change logos, colors and some more features both for HTML and MFE. Hope it helps!

If you mean disk space, it may be because Docker will save every image you build in disk. You can try `docker image prune` to clean up disk space from time to time.

Fonts are always tricky, because different fonts usually have different file structure. Let me know the error you are getting and we can check

Yeah i managed to get it all working  
it was in the readme on the github the command you have mentioned here is

tutor local settheme theme

right at the end  
i belive this should be

tutor local **do** settheme theme

Also! i have a question  
this command

```auto
tutor images build mfe

```

stalls my system

i rebooted my AWS instance after it stalled due to this command.  
and i dont run it again

is this a risk to my system that it attempted a build but failed ?

Docker consumes lots of memory, cpu and storage. I usually run docker in a difference instance by setting DOCKER\_HOST.

Yes, since version 15 Tutor added the “do” command.

i saw that, but with regards to my earlier question is my installation at any risk considering the MFE wont build ?, im limited to one instance for this build so unfortunately im limited but can i keep going with that failed build ? website seems to run ok

If the MFE image does not build, it’s likely that you will have problems. Probably the LMS is taking a previous version of the MFE, that’s why the website is still working. All images should build successfully. If you are limited to one instance, you may consider upgrading the memory and/or storage.
