Customizing Veeam Agent Control Panel

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel that runs on your computer. For example, you can match the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows branding to your company brand, or hide specific interface elements.

You apply customization settings by placing branding files and a configuration file in a dedicated folder on your computer and restarting the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows tray application to apply the settings.

To apply customization settings:

On your computer, navigate to the C:\ProgramData\Veeam\EndpointBranding\ folder.
To replace the tray icon, place a 16×16 ICO file named TrayLogo.ico in the folder. The tray icon is static — the backup activity animation is not applied to custom icons.
To replace the control panel logo icon, place a 20×20 PNG file named MainWindowLogo.png in the folder.
To customize the accent color and control panel settings, copy the Config.template.xml file to Config.xml in the same folder and set the following attributes on the BrandingConfiguration element:

[Optional] Specify the accent color for the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel. To do this, set the AccentColorCode value to the color code in hexadecimal format, for example "#1F6AFF". If you leave the value empty, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows uses the default product color.
[Optional] Specify custom text to display in the header of the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel. To do this, set the MainWindowHeaderText value to the necessary text. The text can contain up to 16 characters. If you leave the value empty, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows uses the default text.
[Optional] Specify a custom URL for the Online Help link on the Support tab of the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel. To do this, set the CustomHelpCenterLink value to the necessary URL. If you leave the value empty, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows uses the default URL.
Set the HideManualBackupRuns value to "True" if you want to hide the Backup Now button and other manual backup controls in the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel. The default value is "False".
Set the HideAboutTab value to "True" if you want to hide the About tab in the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel. The default value is "False".
Set the HideSupportTab value to "True" if you want to hide the Support tab in the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows control panel. The default value is "False".
Set the HideTrayApp value to "True" if you want to hide the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows tray icon in the notification area. The default value is "False".

Do not modify the Version attribute.

Restart the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows tray application. To do this, exit the tray application, and then run Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows from the Windows Start menu.

<BrandingConfiguration Version="1" AccentColorCode="#1F6AFF" HideManualBackupRuns="True" HideAboutTab="False" HideSupportTab="False" HideTrayApp="False" CustomHelpCenterLink="https://helpcenter.example.com" MainWindowHeaderText="Company Backup" />
