Venus GX + Remote Consol on LAN + Logo

We are using the Venus GX to display information about our system on local PC. The PC is connected via Wifi to the Venus GX IP address http://172.24.24.1/

Question is how do we change the Victron Logo in the remote console when connected via LAN? Or happy if we can delete the logo.

This can be done on the CGGX. But I cannot find out how to change the Venus GX logo.

We are only interested in showing the main page, sample below.

Your assistance would be appreciated.

Just out of interest, why would you want to remove that logo? Are you not using Victron equipment?

Maybe it is too small for him and he wants to implement a bigger one?

Or he maybe wants to have an own logo or writing, describing something to the "watchers".

E.g. position, or system name could make sense too.

Thank you for your question. We are displaying our system at a tradeshow and do not wont to confuse the product branding.

Hi,

there is no official way to change that logo.

This site and objects are created somewhere in /opt/victronenergy/gui/qml

But you will have to search the code for it, on your own.

Maybe, if you found out where this logo is coded, you could post it here...

It's not in multi.qml, as far as I can see in a quick review.

Regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

Can you please elaborate on /opt/victronenergy/gui/qml . I am a novice here. Is this the source files stored on the Venus GX? An elementary question, how do you view these files? And which is the best editor to use for modifying files? A screenshot would be most appreciated. Thanks

Hi MarkAU,

Also on a Venus GX; you can change the logo with the same procedure. Not that its not that logo; but another one. Search in Google for blog victron custom logo, and I’m quite sure a blogpost will show up that has a screenshot showing what you can change.

Ok, so the logo in question is embedded here:

/opt/victronenergy/themes/ccgx/images/overview-inverter.png

I would edit the png image itself, not the .qml files for this.

Regards,

Markus
