How to change the background color on the login page

Hi,

how can I change the background color on the login page from white to lets say black. I was able to change the logo already.

Thanks

Stefan

Seems there is not much feedback here

You would need to extend the theme with an update background color. See https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/wiki/Skins for the information on extending the theme.

That`s too much work. I simply want to change the background color. And therefore no need to change several files.
Anyway, thanks for the help

I need help with the same questions.
I extend my elastic theme, add customstyles.css And all styles apply normally except background. so I don't do the background image or background color does not change.

On 1.6.1 I use plugin for change login page background image.
Here is plugin and my comment:
https://github.com/BlueLama/rc-login-background/issues/1

Plugin not correct work on modern version of Roundcube. I install it manually by downloading to ...roundcube/plugin/rc_login_background.
Now I test it and plugin required modification in custom.php like this:
.......
$img=date("n").".jpg";
echo "
#layout-content {
background-color: transparent !important;
}
body
{..........
and another one in rc_login_background.php you must replace custom.css to custom.php:
function render_page($p)
{
$this->include_stylesheet('custom.php');
}
so now it work for me
