Hi Anne,

I would suggesting using Apps —> Settings —> Appearance Settings
You’ll have to create an external-static/ directory on your web server and put the new images there (the dimensions are on the settings page)

If you simply swap out the logo image file in web apps directory it won’t persist if you deploy a new version of DHIS 2.

If  you’d like to make additional changes I suggest using the web API documented here: 
https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s41.html

Here is a brief example:
---
If you want customize the look of DHIS 2 via CSS, here is an example of a clean way to use your own CSS.
In this example we'll hide the flag and the footer on the DHIS 2 login page.

Following the documentation here https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s41.html

This is how to hide the flag and the footer on the home page.

I created a file mystyle.css (the name doesn’t matter) and it contained
#flagArea
{
  visibility: hidden;
  position: absolute;
  top: 22px;
  left: 52px;
  border: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
  border-radius: 2px;
  max-width: 105px;
  margin-bottom: 5%;
}

#footerArea
 {
  visibility: hidden; 
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  padding: 10px 0 9px 0;
  font-size: 13px;
  border-top: 1px solid #416f9d;
  color: #6b90b8;
  width: 100%;
}

Then make the following curl call which posts the file to the server.
curl -d @mystyle.css "https://example.com/api/files/style"; -H "Content-Type:text/css" -u username:password

If you view the source of the home page you’ll notice a call to 
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../../api/files/style/external" />

If you look here you’ll be able to see the CSS that I just added.
https://example.com/api/files/style/external

Please note that when you post a new file to https://example.com/api/files/style it will overwrite the current version, so you have to include all of your previous changes.
