Customize the download applications window

You can edit and customize the appearance of the download applications window. To customize the window, edit the downloads.xml file located in the Downloads directory on the server.

The following tags in the downloads file control the following features on the window. Edit the tags as desired to change the appearance of the window.

• App Name. The name of the application.

• Image. Whether the application's icon is displayed.

• File Name. If you changed the name of the application's execution file, you must update this section so that it matches the new name of the execution file.

• Description. The application's description.

To customize the download applications window:

1. (Recommended) Make a backup copy of the downloads.xml file before customizing the appearance of the download applications window.

2. Open the downloads.xml file, and update the tags as required.

   For example:

   <app name="MyNewApp" image="assets/images/download-applications/my_Icon.svg">
     <file name="my_file_name.exe">
   <description>My file description...</description>
     </file>
     </app>
