Glad to hear you love GitLab.

1. No, but after a discussion on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931690 we did decide to merge the branded login page into CE. If you are looking for another front-end change please let me know.

2. Per our requirements https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst... I would advise 2GB of RAM.

I'm a front-end developer and designer so I love tweaking things to my liking. There are links that don't look like links and padding issues in a few places. The ability to choose custom fonts from Brick.im would be great too. If nothing else, I'll make the changes and figure out how to write a script that brings my changes back after I update/upgrade.

Thanks for the requirements link, I must've missed that.

Certainly there is a lot of room for improving links and padding. Have you considered contributing them to GitLab? To get started see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit

Having people pick custom fonts might make it hard to get the design right for everyone.

Reapplying changes in Omnibus is hard since it is shipped without a git repo, so you can't use git stash or git merge. You would need to switch to an installation from source but we don't recommend that.

I really hope you can contribute the changes you would like to see, GitLab's frontend can still use a lot of polish.

Hmm, okay. I'll do that!
