Overlay. The overlays weren’t working over a GIF. Maybe my GIF was too large? ---

That overlay was the one I created. I had selected both the gradient and the dark overlay and there was no change. My GIF is 20MB ---

> [@John\_Cabrera](#): > > This is awesome, but very important for app developers to know that making any changes to your sign-in screen forces all users of your app to sign in again next time they open the app on their phone. I can’t reproduce this at all. Could you reproduce this on a video maybe? ---

This happened to me app twice on the first day I tried this. I didn’t try it again, so perhaps it has resolved. Too nervous to try it on my main app. I will look for time to do a test with another app. ---

Hello, What are the recommended or ideal background dimensions for a customized sign in screen? 🤔 ---

Will the Public app get a custom and/or duplicate Custom Screen? As it stands today, its, just the App logo in the middle of the screen. ---

> [@John\_Cabrera](#): > > Too nervous to try it on my main app. I will look for time to do a test with another app. I should mention that if you change an app in any way, running apps will reload to update around 10 minutes after your last change. This could happen while they’re editing data. We know we need to fix that. ---

This I do know. Yes. Has happened to a few of us. But I’ve seen mention of it in the forum s, so I know you’re aware and trying to fix. ---

This is a good question and should probably be added to the documentation… @JackVaughan? ---

Sure I will chat with design & see what they suggest. Will be affected by tablet/dt layout when it comes as well. ---
