How to apply branding to apps: Inserting logos and customising Dynamics 365 applications

As a newcomer to?Dynamics 365?and?Power Apps, one of the trickiest tasks I’ve encountered is applying clients’ branding or custom themes to Dynamics 365 applications. Luckily, with the help of my mates and fellow?Graduate Consultants?at Barhead Solutions, I learned this basic – but important – skill. If you’re new to Dynamics 365 and Power Apps, here’s how you can create custom themes for your demos:

1. Cloning a theme for your demo

Go to the top-right gear icon in the Power Apps window and select?Advanced settings. Click on the drop-down near?Settings, then click?Customization?and then?Themes. Select a theme from the choices and click on ‘Clone’ on the top ribbon. This will create a new theme with the title of ‘Copy of (name of the theme)’. Change the name to the demo name theme and click the save button at the bottom right.

2. Uploading the logo

Saving the theme won’t direct you to another page. Click on ‘Logo’ under ‘Navigation Bar’, click on the search icon and then select?‘+ New’. Clicking?‘+ New’, on the other will redirect you to a new page. On the new page, fill in the details. In my demo app, I used these details:

• Name: Barheadlogo
• Type: JPG format [Note: file type will depend on the file you have]
• Upload file: upload the file

When searching for your logo, make sure to start the search with ‘new_thelogoname’. Select the logo and click Save at the bottom right.

Tip: The ideal logo dimensions are 90 px by 50 px or 100 px by 50 px. To resize the image, you can go to this website: https://www.befunky.com/features/resize-image/.
