How Salesforce1 Branding Works

You can customize branding for your Salesforce1 app in Setup, under Salesforce1 Setup | Branding.

Prerequisites

Images that you upload to customize the Salesforce1 app are stored in a Documents folder named Salesforce1 Branding Resources. For this reason, the Documents object must be enabled for your organization before administrators can view and modify the Salesforce1 Branding page. (The Documents tab doesn’t need to be visible, however.)

For users of the Salesforce1 mobile browser app to see custom branding, Documents must be enabled for your organization. For the Salesforce1 downloadable apps, users must also have “Read” user permissions on Documents.

What You Can Customize

Element Description
Brand Color The color for key user interface elements such as the header, buttons, and search bar.

Based on the brand color you select, contrasting colors for user interface elements such as borders for the navigation menu, the notifications list, and button text are automatically defined.

The headers on overlays, popups, and dialogs—such as edit and create windows or windows that open from actions in the action bar—aren’t affected by this setting. These headers are always white, to provide a visual indicator that the user is performing an action as opposed to simply viewing information.

Loading Page Color The background color on the loading page that appears after a mobile user logs in.
Loading Page Logo The image on the loading page that appears after a mobile user logs in.

We recommend using an image with the largest dimensions allowable for best results. Maximum image size is 460 pixels by 560 pixels.

Publisher Icon For the Salesforce1 downloadable apps, version 6.x and earlier only.

The image that is used as the publisher icon (by default, Publisher icon) to open the publisher. We recommend using an image that’s 88 pixels by 88 pixels for best results.

This field doesn’t apply to Salesforce1 mobile apps version 7.0 and later, where the action bar has replaced the publisher icon.

You can also customize the branding for the Salesforce1 app login page. My Domain must be enabled to modify the login page. To customize your company’s Salesforce1 login page, see Customizing Your Login Page Branding.
