Add visual customizations to Leap
The Polaris Leap login screen consists of two text fields, a button, and a low resolution PNG floating upon an ocean of #CCCCCC. It is, in a word, boring. There are no easy customization options offered that allow a library to give it the look and feel that they want, save for one option that will change the colour of the menu bar. Now, granted, if you have a staff member with some web coding knowledge, they can modify the Leap CSS and replace some images to give things a spruce up. Five lines of code and a fresh image makes the Leap experience much more attractive and distinct for the library. (See attached screenshots.)
But those are manual, unsupported customizations that will almost certainly need replacement after an upgrade and are likely inaccessible to hosted libraries.
Please add functionality that, at the very least, allows a library to:
Easily add a full screen cover image to the Leap login screen, ideally at the branch level so each branch can have their own look
Easily add the library's logo to the Leap login screen
Easily add the library's logo to the Leap main screen
Change the quotations on the Leap main screen without going through WebAdmin
Other suggestions are welcome - please comment below! 😃

I wholeheartedly support this idea. The lack of visual customization options on the Leap login screen has indeed been a source of confusion for our staff. While it's true that the responsibility lies with the user to follow directions, we must also acknowledge that visual cues play a significant role in user experience.
The ability to add our library's logo and a full-screen cover image would not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Leap interface but also provide a clear indication to our staff that they are accessing our library's Leap login, not someone else's. This would undoubtedly reduce the number of access issues reported by our staff.
