Modify harmon.ie Classic labels and images

If your organization requires it, you may replace the harmon.ie logo, icons, links and labels with your company’s logo and labels. This is done by setting registry keys that point to your company’s images and labels.

Here are some images that demonstrate how the branding keys change harmon.ie:

Follow these steps to rebrand harmon.ie:

  1. Create your own images for the harmon.ie sidebar. harmon.ie supplies a tool to simplify the creation of the images in the correct dimensions.

Please follow the steps below to use the tool:

  1. Download the harmon.ie label generator tool and extract it to a local folder.
  2. Navigate to the location of the extracted tool.
  3. Open a command prompt. If you extracted the tool to c:\Temp folder, type these commands:

2. Create a registry file:

  1. Download the reg keys sample and extract to a local folder.
  2. The zip includes two files:
    • harmonie-registry-branding-32bit.reg – To be used when installing on 32-bit Office.
    • harmonie-registry-branding-64bit.reg – To be used when installing on 64-bit Office.
  3. Open the relevant registry file for editing.
    The file lists all branding keys, which are explained in the administrator settings article.
    Modify the labels according to your own texts, update links, and change images if necessary.
Each image registry key has a sub-key called Dark. Use the Dark sub keys to point to the images you want to display when users work with dark-theme harmon.ie.
