Hello Sahil,

Are you sure you need to start with CUBA Platform?
There is Jmix which is a new generation of the same project.

OK, in order to change background of the login screen to red do the following:

  1. Create login screen in your project: New → Screen → Login screen, call it login-ext.

    Now you have the source code of the screen and you can modify it as you need. Look at this style name, you’ll need it later:

    <layout stylename="c-login-main-layout" expand="loginWrapper">
    
  2. Extend halo theme: Themes → Manage Themes → Create Theme Extension, then add to halo-ext.scss:

    @mixin com_company_demo-halo-ext {
     .c-login-main-layout {
         background-color: red;
     }
    }
    
  3. Switch to halo theme in web-app.properties:

    cuba.web.theme = halo
    

That’s it. See more at Extending an Existing Theme - CUBA Platform. Developer’s Manual
