What this trail covers

GitLab Enterprise Edition allows for customization of the login page, including the company logo, title, and description, to provide a branded experience for users. This feature is accessible through the admin area's Appearance settings. Additionally, user preferences have been introduced to customize the UI layout (fluid or fixed width) and the default dashboard view (Projects, Starred Projects, Projects' Activity, or Starred Projects' Activity). Users can also choose between viewing the project's Readme or Activity by default.

  1. Feature Highlight: User preferences to customize GitLab behaviorThis post introduces new user preferences in GitLab 8.1 for customizing UI behavior. Specifically, it adds options for 'Layout width' (fluid or fixed) and 'Default Dashboard' (Your Projects, Starred Projects, Your Projects' Activity, Starred Projects' Activity). It also reiterates the existing 'Project view' preference (Readme or Activity). The technical implementation involves UI adjustments and backend logic to store and apply these user preferences.
