Brand the VMware Horizon 7.3.2 View Page

We always getting this question from the VDI customers , how to change the Horizon login page interface  ,and if it possible to customize it

Landing Page

The images can be found in the following location in a default installation on the Connection Server

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\broker\webapps\portal\webclient\icons-6510409

Key Filename Image Size
1 logo@2x.png logo.png 472×222
logo.png 240×113
2 icon-download.svg
3 icon_html_access.svg
4 VMware_logo_footer.svg
BG BG_image.jpg 2560×1440

The .svg (scalable vector graphic) files require a svg editor such as inkscape to manipulate them – this was a bit beyond what I wanted.

Obtain or create (paint.net is your friend) images of the same size that you wish to substitute and rename them to match.

The text marked in red can be found in the below location (default install)

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\broker\webapps\portal\WEB-INF\classes\com\vmware\vdi\installer\i18n\bundle_en

Below is an example for customization

These customization   will not persist through an upgrade so will have to be recreated.
