How to remove or change the default OA branding

Last updated on
30 April 2025

Out of the box Open Atrium is shipped with default branding;

  1. The logo next to the main menu
  2. a Powered by Open Atrium image in the footer
  3. An image (2 images actually) at the login screen.
  4. A default home page

Of course, it's also easy to override all of this in your site-specific theme, so if you create a subtheme of oa_radix you can add/remove whatever you want.

Create your own Mini panel from scratch and then go into the Space -> Config -> Variables and in the Layout area you can specify the machine-name of the header and footer mini panels you want to use. These will inherit to subspaces, so if you do this for your top-level space it will use your mini panels instead of the defaults.

  1. The Logo next to the main menu can be changed in the Open Atrium -> Config -> Banners area
  2. The footer is using a Mini Panel. Go to Structure -> Mini Panels. Edit the Footer, choose the Content option and click on the gear wheel hide/change/remove the "Powered by Open Atrium" widget. If you remove it, you can replace it with a custom block containing your transparent image.

  3. The login page is a Panels page. Panels Pages are in Structure/Pages. Go to the General tab on admin/structure/pages/edit/pm_existing_pages-user_login. In the general settings for the panel there is a CSS class of "oa-login". Edit the panel and remove that css class and that will remove the background image.
  4. To change the default Open Atrium home page, copy the template file from profiles/openatrium/modules/apps/oa_home/oa-home-default.tpl.php to your sub-theme. Clear all caches (Admin->Configuration->Development) so that the template override takes effect. To add more content, an easy way is go to /structure/pages/edit/page-oa_homepage. In Anonymous Home section click content and add content (similar to a normal Panopoly page).
