Customize Marketo background images

Ever wish you could have a cute kitten appear when you see the My Marketo screen? Or perhaps a photo from your most recent vacation to make you wish you were doing something else?

With a browser extension and some custom CSS, you can.

If you use Chrome, download the Stylebot extension. Then go to Options > Styles > Edit Global Stylesheet.

Insert the below CSS code to over-ride images with your own (just replace the image URLs in quotations with images of your choice - try a Google images search or maybe look in that secret Slack channel your team uses for kittens). Remember to click Enable Global Stylesheet. Also, be sure to turn the extension off if something isn't working right and you need to submit a case to Support about it.

/* Analytics - Business Cat */

.mkt3-analyticsHome {

    background-image: url("s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/fb/06/a5/fb06a5f69b326b46f19f83a77fdabf5b.jpg");

}

/* Calendar - Jurassic Park logo */

.mkt3-calendar-view-global {

    background-image: url("qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-cdeb9e8a00f2003e68b0f3ba973190f7");

}

/* My Marketo - Kitten */

.mkt3-home {

    background-image: url("https://media.giphy.com/media/Vuw9m5wXviFIQ/giphy.gif") ;

}

/* Engagement program - Captain Picard saying "Engage" */

.mkt3-leadNurturePanel {

    background-image: url("drillsoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/make-it-so.jpg") ;

}

.mkt3-nurtureTrackPanel {

    opacity: .8;

}

/* Email Program - Puppies */

.mkt3-emailBlastControlPanel {

    background-image: url("theprojectheal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Aaaaaawwwwwwwwww-Sweet-puppies-9415255-1600-1200.jpg");

is this customization still relevant? I tried implementing this in the sandbox and did not find any "Edit Global Stylesheet" under Options>Styles.

Thank you for sharing Goes to show this customization needs to be allowed, I am so tired of the My Marketo Background.

That RR'd gif was gold!

I hear you, Erik!  At least the launch of the new UI is on the horizon - should be only a few more months!

Indeed Patiently waiting

But it was nice to change the stylesheet of the My Marketo page to just a plain background color!
