Create a custom theme for the NetScaler Gateway logon page

You can use the GUI to create a custom theme for the logon page for NetScaler Gateway. You can also leave the default theme or use the Citrix Workspace app theme. When you choose to apply a custom theme to the logon page, you use the NetScaler Gateway command line to create and deploy the theme. You then use the GUI to set the custom theme page.

You configure the custom theme page by using NetScaler Gateway global settings.

You can use this feature with the following versions of NetScaler Gateway:

  • NetScaler Gateway 10.1

  • Access Gateway 10, Build 73.5002.e (you must install this build after Build 71.6104.e to use this feature with Endpoint Management Versions 2.5, 2.6, or 2.8)
