In the Plus (VSTO) version of Sendent for Outlook, you are given the option to use a custom branded version of the add-in, rather than the default Sendent branded version. You can control the settings used for this from your Nextcloud settings.
To set up custom branding, you must open the Theming app in Nextcloud. Sendent utilizes the following settings for custom branding:
- Name
- Color
- Logo
- Header logo
These settings will allow you to customize the appearance of the Sendent add-in to match your organization's branding. Please be aware that theming is not available for the web add-in.
