Introduction

You can develop custom styles that modify the appearance of the cPanel interface. For example, you may wish to create a customized appearance to match your company's branding and logo, or you may wish to create customized styles for distribution.

Style development workflow

When you create a cPanel style, we recommend that you use the following workflow:

1. Create a new directory for the style.

2. Create the styles.css file within the new directory.

3. Add the desired images and other assets to the directory.

4. Move the style's directory to the appropriate location on the server:

   • For all of the accounts on the server — /var/cpanel/customizations/styled/mystyle/

   • For all of the cPanel accounts that a reseller owns — /home/reseller/var/cpanel/reseller/styled/mystyle/

   • For a specific cPanel account — /home/username/var/cpanel/styled/mystyle/

   Notes:

   • mystyle represents the name of the style's directory.
   • reseller represents the reseller's username.
   • username represents the cPanel account's username.
   • If the server uses a customized home directory path, make certain that you use the appropriate path for that home directory.
   • If these directories do not currently exist on the server, use the mkdir command to create them.

5. Apply the style to the desired accounts.
