Change SharePoint 2010 Site Logo Via CSS

I thought that I created this post before, but I guess it was either the SharePoint 2007 Logo, or the SharePoint 2010 Search Button. So here it is.

Very much like the two examples above, if you simply want to change the site logo via CSS globally, or for a single site. Without having to go to the Site Actions > Site Settings > Title and description > adding in a URL to site logo. Then simply do the following:

  • Copy your image anywhere users can access it
  • Paste in the following CSS into your custom CSS file

.s4-titlelogo{
background-image: url(/_layouts/images/centraladmin_security_48x48.png);
background-position:left center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.s4-titlelogo > a > img{
visibility: hidden;
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
}

  • Update the background image URL path above in red to where you uploaded the image
  • Change the width and height above in Blue to match the image dimensions.

Before:

After:

It is possible to change the logo directly in the properties of the site.
I do not have a SharePoint 2010 under my hand to point it for you but I have done it before so I am sure

Yes, if you simply go to site settings, Title, description, and icon. You can manually add in a URL path to the logo but that only changes it for that specific site. By using CSS you can easily update all sites with just CSS and it can be made globally.

Good post!

Most people don't realize that a lot of design customization in SharePoint can be done just by CSS modifications.

Hello,
I would like to change the link in the logo, so once you click on the new logo will redirect to another page.

SharePoint 2010 Base CSS Classes

This will be the first of many SharePoint 2010 posts. I will be focusing on a few of the main CSS classes used for SharePoint 2010 Public Beta. As the product becomes more final there might be some changes to the class names but I will be sure to create a new post if that happens. This will be quite a lengthy but it should be helpful. The default CSS given below are just highlights of the full CSS attributes for that class. I will be using a basic team site as my base for the screenshots. Here is a basic structure of the main areas that I will cover. Ribbon Row Table Row Left Site Actions Navigate Up Edit Tab List Browse Page Table Row Right Give Feedback Welcome Menu Workspace Body Container Title Row Title ...

SharePoint 2010 Content Query for Blog Posts

I hope this post will help many of you feel comfortable with using the Content Query Web Part. In this post I will walk you through the process of creating a content query web part and configuring it to show custom field types. I will also give details on how to use XSLT to stylize and format the data being pulled. I will be using the following scenario as an example. Say that you had a site collection with a top level publishing site. This publishing site would display a the most recent blog posts from all blog sites within its own site collection. To solve this problem we will use a Content Query Web Part and a customized ItemStyle.xsl using XSLT. Please note that the “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” needs to be enabled at the site collection to display the content query web part. Step 1: Add a Content Query Web Part to Page Navigate to the site that you want the blog posts to show up and click on edit page. Under Editing Tools in the Ribbon, Click on ...

SharePoint 2010 Themes

As you all know SharePoint has a new theme engine for 2010. You can do cool things such as create a theme in PowerPoint, export it and then import it into SharePoint 2010, click apply and you got a custom theme. One aspect that I could not find documented is the definition of when you choose a color for a particular element what is it really changing? If you modify the theme for a site you can use the picker to choose a OOTB or custom theme. Or you have the ability to choose your own color scheme via the following elements. My approach: Make each element white to start with and then one by one add color and document the results. Just for kicks here is what it looks like when it is completely white… (not a color scheme I would recommend…) I will be using a red color: #C12345 for testing. Here are the details for each one of the elements above: Text/Background- Dark 1 (41 Classes) Page Title Hyperlink Text Hover Text VB Body Text Site Action Menu Text ...
