Sorry about the brevity of my earlier response; my better-half and I were entertaining a new client - one who is very keen on implementing and experimenting with a Guac based tablet/mobile HMI infrastructure within his factory...
The logos and the favicons, should both be fixed assets somewhere and should be fairly easy to copy over via script within a BASH environment, following the platform installation/build-out; something like the following should do the trick: Logo Copyover: cp /media/installationID/logo.png /guacamole_fixed-asset_directory/logo_whatever.png Favicon Copyover: cp /media/installationID/favicon.png /guacamole_fixed-asset_directory/favicon_whatever.png The issue with this scripting methodology is knowing where the fixed assets are located within the default file structure... If you could provide some illumination as to the path of these static assets, that would be awesome. Changing the webapp display name and the browser tab display names will be a little more complicated as they are both supposedly generated by a .css file somewhere. If this .css file is a static asset, where is it located? If this .css file is dynamically generated, what generates it and how can I edit it to accept a one-time user entry to establish an application name? To be clear, the project I am working on is based upon a fixed/static and non-updating, configuration-fixed, and revision-controlled appliance build model - i.e. my company builds and installs the appliance within a system which will then be revision-fixed. If requested/required, I or another engineer would update the core platform, fault test the new core platform, press a new distribution image, and then update/upgrade the production system as specifically requested/contracted. As such, I am not concerned about an end-client initiated update/upgrade event as my end-client user will not have the ability to independently perform such an operation without the involvement of either myself or one the engineers that works with/for me. ________________________________ From: Chris Cook [coo...@jlsautomation.com] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2016 7:14 PM To: user@guacamole.incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Scripted Branding Mike, Thanks for your response. If I am understanding you correctly, I can use a BASH script that includes functions like CAT or an ECHO pipe to write out an installation specific .jar to the guacamole-home folder?

Both I and my team LOVE the default Guac 0.9.9 webapp! Thanks! However, we have one hurtle that we need some help overcoming... We are estimating approx. 100 uniquely branded deployments every year. As such, generating a deployment specific branding extension for each and every deployment would become rather cumbersome very quickly. Branding extensions are the intended way to achieve this. The idea was that by encapsulating such changes within an extension, branding changes could remain stable across upgrades, thus making things more convenient and doing away with the need to patch the webapp itself. Is there a way to change the application name, the logo, and the favicon of the default web-client without having to generate and deploy a new .war archive? There's no need to deploy a whole new .war each time (though, since you mentioned branding extensions earlier, perhaps you meant .jar). It should be possible to script the generation of a branding extension if the specifics are predictable (logo, icon, changes to the strings). Have you given writing such a script a shot? - Mike THIS E-MAIL MESSAGE AND ANY ATTACHMENTS ARE INTENDED FOR THE USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO WHICH IT IS ADDRESSED AND MAY CONTAIN INFORMATION THAT IS PRIVILEGED, CONFIDENTIAL AND EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
