# App and Nav Bar Styling

In _App and Nav Bar_ settings under the Setup space you can quickly customize Squirro to match a corporate brand.

You can modify many different parts of the UI to create a customized feel.

## Company Logo

The company logo can be set as a `Base64 string` or `URL`.

You can store a custom image in a dashboard loader, manually on your Squirro server, or on a different HTTP address. Squirro recommends a maximum file size of 50kb.

Tip: You may have to tweak the whitespace surrounding the image to get a nice fit on the header.

Below is an example of how a `Base64` string might look. There are many online tools which you can use to convert an image into a Base64 string.

Tip: Be sure to restrict the size of the image before converting it. Strings which are too large may be rejected by the backend on saving the changes.

```html
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAU0AAACXCAMAAACmnTfe2Cdih
```

## Custom Colors

Custom colors can be defined using standard CSS color options, either as `hex code`, `HTML color name`, `RGB` or `RGBA` values.

## Highlight Color

You can change the default highlighting color for text within your project by selecting a color from the dropdown menu.

## Enable Compact Items

This option reduces the footprint of the header icons. This change is only visible on the **Dashboard Space**.

The Avatar circle is generated using the first initial of the first two names from the account settings:

My Account > Profile > Your Username

**Avatar examples:**

- John Doe will become JD.
- John will become J.
- John Josh Doe will become JJ.
- If no username is set you will see a default Squirro acorn instead.
