Learn more about feature availability and plans in* [*Quickbase capabilities*](/v1/docs/quickbase-capabilities)*.* As a [realm](/v1/docs/realm-overview) administrator, you can customize your Quickbase interface so that it features your corporate logo and colors in the header or footer of each page displayed in your realm. Additionally, you can provide links to helpful pages for all your Quickbase users. Any changes you make to the realm UI propagate throughout the billing accounts and applications that comprise your realm. > [!NOTE] > Note: An app manager can also make custom changes at the app level; and any changes made at the app level override the changes made at the realm level for that app. ## Change basic page items - **Colors in the header**. You can change the background color of the banner that appears at the top of your Quickbase pages (usually referred to as the Global bar), as well as the color of any text you enter in the right and left elements. - **Basic changes to the header and footer**. Quickbase lets you make these basic changes that require little-to-no HTML expertise: - **Left and right header elements:** You can replace or eliminate the elements that appear in the left and right corners of the header. Left and right elements can be text or images, and you can choose to create links with these, to link your users to helpful web pages. ![The Left Element and Right Element input fields in the Quickbase header customization settings](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4572872987028.png) - **Text, images, and links in the footer:** You can add a bottom right footer element, allowing you to add text or images to the bottom right of your pages. Like the header elements, the footer elements can be links to other web pages. Again, you can enter basic changes or custom HTML for your footer. ![The footer element settings in the Quickbase realm UI customization panel](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4572900788500.png) - **Custom HTML for headers and footers:** If you have HTML expertise, you can insert HTML code to customize your headers and footers. If you use this option, you are not limited to the text and image options available with basic customizations. - **Right-side Quickbase options**. You can choose to hide the **Alerts** button and the user drop-down. - **Text for the Sign In page**. The Quickbase Sign In page displays standard text that you can change for your users. You can paste in custom HTML that appears to users throughout your realm when they sign in to Quickbase. ![The Sign In page text customization settings in the Quickbase realm UI editor](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/4572887191700.png) ## Use custom HTML You can use custom HTML for your headers and footers. Keep in mind, though, that certain tags are not supported; if you insert code containing these tags, Quickbase strips them out when it saves the footer code: ,
