You can customize the terms of service by editing accounts/tos.txt. If it doesn't already exist then you can use default_tos.txt as a template.
Information about your instance and its origin story can be added by editing accounts/about.txt.
On the login screen you can provide a custom welcome message by creating the file accounts/login.txt. This could be used to show a motd or scheduled maintenance information.
You can customize the image on the login screen by saving your instance logo to accounts/login.png. A background image can also be set for the login screen by adding accounts/login-background.png
A custom background image can be supplied for the search screen by adding accounts/search-background.png
When a moderator report is created the message at the top of the screen can be customized to provide any additional information, advice or alerts. Edit accounts/report.txt and add your text.
Extra emoji can be added to the emoji directory and you should then update the emoji/emoji.json file, which maps the name to the filename (without the .png extension).
Another way to import emoji is to create a text file where each line is the url of the emoji png file and the emoji name, separated by a comma.
https://somesite/emoji1.png, :emojiname1:
https://somesite/emoji2.png, :emojiname2:
https://somesite/emoji3.png, :emojiname3:Then this can be imported with:
python3 epicyon.py --import_emoji [textfile]If you want to create a new theme then copy the default directory within the theme directory, rename it to your new theme name, then you can edit the colors and fonts within theme.json, and change the icons and banners. Themes are selectable from the graphic design section of the profile screen of the administrator, or of any accounts having the artist role.
