# Static Directory
-Static frontend files are shipped with pleroma. If you want to overwrite or update these without problems during upgrades, you can write your custom versions to the static directory.
+Static frontend files are shipped with Akkoma. If you want to overwrite or update these without problems during upgrades, you can write your custom versions to the static directory.
You can find the location of the static directory in the [configuration](../cheatsheet/#instance).
-```elixir tab="OTP"
-config :pleroma, :instance,
- static_dir: "/var/lib/pleroma/static/",
-```
+=== "OTP"
-```elixir tab="From Source"
-config :pleroma, :instance,
- static_dir: "instance/static/",
-```
+ ```elixir
+ config :pleroma, :instance,
+ static_dir: "/var/lib/akkoma/static/"
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```elixir
+ config :pleroma, :instance,
+ static_dir: "instance/static/"
+ ```
Alternatively, you can overwrite this value in your configuration to use a different static instance directory.
## Background
-You can change the background of your Pleroma instance by uploading it to `$static_dir/`, and then changing `background` in [your configuration](../cheatsheet/#frontend_configurations) accordingly.
+You can change the background of your Akkoma instance by uploading it to `$static_dir/`, and then changing `background` in [your configuration](../cheatsheet/#frontend_configurations) accordingly.
E.g. if you put `$static_dir/images/background.jpg`
Note the extra `static` folder for the terms-of-service.html
Terms of Service will be shown to all users on the registration page. It's the best place where to write down the rules for your instance. You can modify the rules by adding and changing `$static_dir/static/terms-of-service.html`.

+## Styling rendered pages
+
+To overwrite the CSS stylesheet of the OAuth form and other static pages, you can upload your own CSS file to `instance/static/static.css`. This will completely replace the CSS used by those pages, so it might be a good idea to copy the one from `priv/static/instance/static.css` and make your changes.
