Customize Marketo background images

[Grant_Booth]

Ever wish you could have a cute kitten appear when you see the My Marketo screen? Or perhaps a photo from your most recent vacation to make you wish you were doing something else?

With a browser extension and some custom CSS, you can.

If you use Chrome, download the Stylebot extension. Then go to Options > Styles > Edit Global Stylesheet.

Insert the below CSS code to over-ride images with your own (just replace the image URLs in quotations with images of your choice - try a Google images search or maybe look in that secret Slack channel your team uses for kittens). Remember to click Enable Global Stylesheet. Also, be sure to turn the extension off if something isn't working right and you need to submit a case to Support about it.

is this customization still relevant? I tried implementing this in the sandbox and did not find any "Edit Global Stylesheet" under Options>Styles.

Thank you for sharing Goes to show this customization needs to be allowed, I am so tired of the My Marketo Background.

That RR'd gif was gold!

I hear you, Erik!  At least the launch of the new UI is on the horizon - should be only a few more months!

[Supporto_BOARD]

Hi Dan, do you have any info about this new UI? I searched around but couldn't find much... I was looking into the possibility of customizing Marketo but Support told me they can't do anything about it at the moment

I don't have any confirmed information on the new UI.  I've heard rumors that it's been delayed until the second half of the year (after Summit), but again this hasn't been confirmed.

[Grégoire_Miche2]

This is what I understand too.

[Grégoire_Miche2]

Hi Francesco,

the new UI is not out yet.

Indeed Patiently waiting

But it was nice to change the stylesheet of the My Marketo page to just a plain background color!

[Grace_Brebner3]

Amazing. We all need Picard cheering us on every now and then. Love it!

This is why we love you, Grant.
