Hi @theraj Glad to hear you are enjoying the app and we would welcome your support as well, thank you.

A lot of what a user sees in Passbolt is actually coming from the extension and not the server. As a result, many desired UI customizations will be different than configurations on the backend that can be modified or customized on the fly. As extensions have to be built before being used, [this recent post](https://community.passbolt.com/t/how-can-i-change-the-front-end-code-of-the-password-workspace/4136/2) shares the general overview of the parts that go into a custom build if that’s what you decide to do.
