Hi,

I am trying to change the welcome screen’s theme. I tried following the instructions on the server developer docs but I still couldn’t get it to work (accounts, login, emails all work). My theme is in this path keycloak/themes/custom-theme/welcome and I change the welcomeTheme tag in the standalone.xml to “custom-theme” (I also tried the full file path but no luck). I restarted the server, nothing changes and no error so I don’t know why its not working. I would really appreciate any help.

I still can’t get it to work. I am following the instructions [here](https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/index.html#configure-theme). Any suggestions?

Hi @zaitoun how are you running Keycloak?

If you’re using the [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/jboss/keycloak/), you can just set the `KEYCLOAK_WELCOME_THEME` environment variable:  
KEYCLOAK\_WELCOME\_THEME=custom-theme
