This topic explains how to customize the color and images of the sign-in, language selection, and error pages for Outlook Web App.

The Outlook Web App sign-in, language selection, and error pages are created based on graphics and .css files in the themes resources folder. Outlook Web App uses only one set of sign-in, language selection, and error pages for all themes. Any modifications to those pages will be seen by all users. You can find the theme resources folder in the Exchange installation directory at V15FrontEndHttpProxyowaauthversionthemesresources. You'll need a text editor to change the default colors, and a graphics editor to change the images. If you must match a specific color and you can't find a match for it at Color Table, you can use an image editing tool to sample a color and determine its HTML RGB value.

If you have multiple servers supporting Outlook Web App and want them all to use the same sign-in, language, and error pages, you must copy the modified files to each server. You should also create a back-up copy of your customized files. If you reinstall or upgrade Exchange, all files in the themes folders will be overwritten. You'll have to copy your customized files back to the appropriate folder after the reinstallation or upgrade is complete.

Important

Back up copies of all the files that you'll be changing before you start to create your custom sign-in and sign-out pages.
