Change Style

For the purposes of cPanel, L.L.C.’s products and documentation, we use the following terms:

• Branding — Branding modifies the cPanel interface in order to match your company’s logo and brand.

  • Branding changes include updates to image assets or text labels.

  • For more information, read our Branding documentation.

• Includes — UI includes add custom content to the header or footer of the cPanel interface (but not the WHM interface).

  • You can create UI includes for specific cPanel interfaces, or global UI includes that display on all of cPanel’s interfaces.

  • For more information, read our UI Includes documentation.

• Plugin — A plugin modifies an interface’s features or functionality, and it may also include changes to the interface’s appearance.

  • You can write plugins for the cPanel or WHM interfaces.

  • You can use the cPanel Style Guide to ensure that your interfaces match the appearance of standard cPanel interfaces.

  • For more information, read our Guide to cPanel Plugins documentation.

• Style — A style uses CSS, images, and other assets to modify the appearance of the entire cPanel interface without changes to its functionality or features.

  • You can create and apply styles to an entire server or a specific reseller’s accounts, or you can create them for distribution.

  • For more information, read our cPanel Style Development documentation.

• Theme — A theme applies an overlay on the skeletal framework for all of the interfaces.

  • cPanel & WHM currently ships with one default cPanel theme and one default WHM theme.

  • The Webmail and login interfaces also use themes.
