Creating a custom header logo

The header logo is the branding at the top of the patched app, where YouTube shows its wordmark. Morphe can replace it with your own image, and includes a creator that builds the required density folders for you.

The flow mirrors Creating a custom app icon, only the creator dialog differs.

Where to find it

• Simple mode - Settings → Advanced → Patch options, then the app, then Custom header logo.
• Expert mode - on the patch selection screen, find the header patch, make sure it is enabled, and tap the settings icon on its card.

Both open a dialog with a folder field, a Create custom header button, and expandable Instructions with the exact layout required for a folder you prepare yourself.

Preparing your images

• Any PNG or JPEG works. A PNG with a transparent background blends naturally with the app's own theme.
• Use a wide image. Roughly a 2.7:1 aspect ratio matches the space the header occupies.
• You usually need two. Most apps use a separate logo for the light and the dark theme. Apps that only have a dark theme, such as YouTube Music, show a single section.

Creating the header

Tap Create custom header.

Each theme has its own Change image button, a live preview, and a scale slider:

1. Pick the image for Light theme header.
2. Drag it inside the preview to position it, pinch to zoom, or use the slider. Dashed snap guides appear when the image is near the center.
3. Repeat for Dark theme header.
4. Tap Create custom header and choose a folder to save into.

The info icon in the dialog header opens the same guidance in the app.

Morphe writes morphe_branding/morphe_header_youtube (or morphe_header_music for YouTube Music) inside the folder you picked, containing a drawable-hdpi through drawable-xxxhdpi set of morphe_header_custom_light.png and morphe_header_custom_dark.png, plus a .nomedia file so the pieces stay out of your gallery. The path is filled into the option automatically.

In Simple mode, tap Save before leaving the dialog. Then patch the app.

Preparing images manually

Select folder accepts any folder with the right layout. Tap Instructions for the authoritative list, the short version is:

• drawable-hdpi, drawable-xhdpi, drawable-xxhdpi, and drawable-xxxhdpi, each with morphe_header_custom_light.png and morphe_header_custom_dark.png
• Sizes per density: 194x72, 258x96, 387x144, and 512x192 px

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
The logo looks stretched or cropped	The source image is not wide enough. Use something close to 2.7:1
The logo has a visible box around it	Use a PNG with a transparent background instead of a JPEG
Only one theme section is shown	That app only uses a single header, which is expected for YouTube Music
The header did not change after installing	Patch options only apply when the app is patched again

Next steps

• Creating a custom app icon
• Patching an app in Expert mode
