Epicyon Customizations
Terms of Service
You can customize the terms of service by editing accounts/tos.txt. If it doesn't already exist then you can use default_tos.txt as a template.
About Your Instance
Information about your instance and its origin story can be added by editing accounts/about.txt.
Welcome Message
On the login screen you can provide a custom welcome message by creating the file accounts/login.txt. This could be used to show a motd or scheduled maintenance information.
Login Logo
You can customize the image on the login screen by saving your instance logo to accounts/login.png. A background image can also be set for the login screen by adding accounts/login-background.png
A custom background image can be supplied for the search screen by adding accounts/search-background.png
Reports Advice
When a moderator report is created the message at the top of the screen can be customized to provide any additional information, advice or alerts. Edit accounts/report.txt and add your text.
Extra Emoji
Extra emoji can be added to the emoji directory and you should then update the emoji/emoji.json file, which maps the name to the filename (without the .png extension).
Style / Colors
There are a few predefined themes which you can change to. Move to the directory where Epicyon is installed, then you can use:
theme default
theme light
theme hacker
theme purple
Alternatively if you want to create a much more customized theme then you can manually edit css files.
Create copies of the default files:
cp epicyon-profile.css epicyon.css
cp epicyon-follow.css follow.css
cp epicyon-login.css login.css
cp epicyon-suspended.css suspended.css
You can then edit epicyon.css, follow.css, login.css and follow.css as needed and those files won't be overwritten if you upgrade.
epicyon.css is the main style for displaying profiles and timelines.
follow.css is used for displaying options when you select an avatar.
login.css defines the style of the login screen.
suspended.css is the style for the screen which shows that an account has been suspended.
