Aida et al., Try this (adapted from https://www.vijenderkumar.com/2022/05/beautify-koha-staff-login-page.html, but slightly simplified.)
Create an image that you want to put on your Koha login screen. Put it somewhere on your computer. Use FileZilla to upload it from your computer to your Koha system. Put it in /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs. Now your image is accessible as http://yourlibrary/imagename.extension. For example, I uploaded nap_time.png to cheerfulvalleypl.online, which you can see from http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/nap_time.png, (image alone) or http://cheerfulvalleypl.online:8080 to see it on the staff login screen. Then go to koha administration -- global system preferences -- staff client -- StaffLoginInstructions. There's a box for HTML code. Make it as fancy as you want, but be sure to include your version of <img src="http://cheerfulvalleypl.online/nap_time.png" alt="" width="300" height="201" /> The extra text can center the image, change fonts and colors, etc., as Vijender Kumar explained above. As others have pointed out, the /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs is in amongst the Koha system files, and might be deleted or damaged during Koha or system updates. It's unlikely in my experience,* but there's always a chance. More next week, I hope. *I have built more Koha systems and destroyed them during the course of learning and modifying Koha than most people, but I certainly don't know everything about deleting files. --Fred Fred King, MSLS, AHIP Medical Librarian, MedStar Washington Hospital Center fred.k...@medstar.net 202-877-6670 ORCID 0000-0001-5266-0279 MedStar Authors Catalog: http://medstarauthors.org You know it's cold outside when you go outside and it's cold. --NPS Twitter -----Original Message----- From: libr...@ssst.edu.ba <libr...@ssst.edu.ba> Sent: Friday, March 3, 2023 12:26 PM To: King, Fred <fred.k...@medstar.net> Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: [Koha] Replacing existing images in Koha with our own **ATTENTION: This email originated from outside the MedStar Health network. ** DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello Fred - I will have to do something, but I'll leave it for later :) It looks like you succeeded - I only see the one image!

As a workaround, you could try putting the images on a different server and linking to them. Take a look at cheerfulvalleypl.online. The image of the library is on http://dokument.space/cvl_library_300.jpg. If you see any other pictures, it means I may have figured something out but I'm going to work on it next week.

Thank you, David, I had just tried this literally a few minutes ago! However I got several errors (expecting an RBRACE) that I didn't know how to fix. I ended up right-click > inspect page source, and using this snippet of code: #logo { background: transparent url(https://i.imgur.com/Cbn0f69.png) no-repeat scroll 0; float: left!important; padding: 0; } Unlike with the login image replacement, imgur did not add a pale overlay on top of the white Koha logo (I changed the background of the OPAC to a gradient from blue to red, which are our university colors so the green logo was clashing). I will continue to study the instructions over the weekend - I should have gone home two hours ago!

You would be using the system preference IntranetUserCss perhaps together with StaffLoginInstructions to achieve your end result. That's the method that our system uses. It doesn't change the fact that permissions and links need to be correct, and it doesn't change the possibility that files placed in the htdocs directory may be overwritten. One advantage that I can think of over the method you found is this: by defining the logo in IntranetUserCSS, the field StaffLoginInstructions is left free for instructions and messages only. Separating the two could reduce confusion and mistakes.
