Logo

A web app with Touch UI displays a small logo on the left side of the tool bar next to the Home button. The logo is also displayed in the same spot on tablets and desktop devices.The color of the logo depends on the user interface theme. A separate “icon” logo is displayed by mobile devices on the home screen if a web app has been installed to run in a full screen mode.

If the the standard size of the logo is tool small, then consider creating a custom CSS stylesheet in the ~/touch folder and placing a CSS rule that will replace the standard positioning and sizing of the logo.

This is the rule that changes the position of the background and its size. We recommend experimenting with actual values to accomplish the best fit for you needs.

@media (min-width: 20em) {
    .ui-header.ui-header-fixed:not(.app-tabs) {
        background-position:1.75em 0;
        background-size:100px;
    }
}
