      Can anyone help me customize the element homepage a little more? I was able to use the background, header, and footer just fine using config.json but is there a way to customize a little bit more?

      For example this https://webchat.kde.org/#/welcome doesn't have the "Welcome to Element" piece, it has everything customized. Any thoughts? Or is this not possible within Cloudron yet?

          @ericdrgn Do you know if the upstream project supports customization of the home page? I did a quick search but could not find anything useful immediately.

            I found welcomeUrl in https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/develop/docs/config.md which says "Initial content shown on the outside of the app when not logged in. Defaults to welcome.html supplied with Element.". There's however no examples.

            Another idea is to of course is to ask the KDE guys on matrix 🙂 (I am an ex-KDE developer btw).

              @girish Sadly that was the same problem I ran into. I will reach out to the KDE guys like you mentioned, but figured I would check here first.

                Hi, I am also looking to customize this page, and wondered how you got on so far?

                  Just as a Matrix-y and KDE-ish aside, I've been following development of the Neochat client, which seems to be coming along nicely.

                  And I'm curious as to which KDE thing you were on (I use KDE mainly at the moment) ..

                    @martin you can open the HTML file in the file browser app or via SSH and edit it. At least for me, it appears to persist across updates.
