How to open the Space Settings dialog
Navigate to the space whose settings you want to change, click the Options icon at the upper right of the space screen, and click Space Settings. Space Settings is displayed only for space administrators.

The following are the setting options that can be configured on the Appearance tab.

| Only allow space administrators to create apps | If this check box is selected, the ability to create apps in the space will be limited to space administrators. Space administrators can be added or deleted on the Members tab on the Space Settings dialog. For details, refer to Restricting the Creation of Apps in a Space to Certain Users. |
| Cover Photo | Specifies the space's cover photo. It is also possible to select an image of your choice from Browse. The specified cover photo is enlarged or shrunk in accordance with the window size of users' Web browser. For details on the image size, refer to Recommended size for a cover photo. |
| Contents in space portal page | You can hide the content on the space portal (e.g., the "Announcement" or "Threads" section) as necessary. This allows you to, for instance, hide the existing content when you customize the space portal using APIs. For details on customizing space portals, refer to Customizing space portals. |
Recommended size for a cover photo
You can upload an image file up to 5 MB to be used as the cover photo.
In the desktop view, the height of the uploaded image is fixed at 64 px and the width is enlarged or shrunk according to the display width of the Web browser.
Therefore, it is recommended that you prepare an image file with a height of 64 px and a width equal to or greater than the maximum width of the Web browser to be used.
The image file set as the cover photo is enlarged or shrunk to fill the entire image area of the space while maintaining the aspect ratio. If text or a logo in the image is cut off or extended off screen, place it in the middle of the image.
