Panel 0.12.0 adds a really nice new INDEX PAGE when serving a multi page app.

It looks awesome and i love it.  
Are there any reasons why the background image is not configurable?  
Your gallery index on awesome-panel allows custom images and icons for each card, is there a plan to integrate that for panel too?

Hi @Stubatiger

I’ve tried to get something supported in Panel c.f. [FastGalleryTemplate · Pull Request #2320](https://github.com/holoviz/panel/pull/2320). But I have not yet been able to make something that @philippjfr would approve 🙂.

I think its important and @nghenzi and @Arifin have also been asking about this.

For now you can do what I do here [awesome\_list.py](https://github.com/MarcSkovMadsen/awesome-panel/blob/master/application/pages/awesome_list/awesome_list.py). You can either use the `awesome-panel-extensions` package directly or carve out the files in that package and include them in your own code.

I have been thinking about carving the `GalleryTemplate` and a few other things out into a `panel-site` package that makes it easier to create a site of applications similar to [awesome-panel.org](http://awesome-panel.org).

You can also join the discussion

+1 here

Customizable gallery template would indeed be… Awesome!  
Header  
Footer  
App icon / size  
etc.

On the back of this. How is it possible that the CSS elements on the default gallery page can’t be changed via:

```auto
css = """
...
"""
pn.extensions(raw_css=[css])

```

Hi @danmaty

If you need that functionality please make a Feature Request on Github.

Hi @Marc

Thank you as I’ve managed to make the changes that I needed based on posts from you and @philippjfr in another thread using the --index … method, but will make a request regardless.

Also, keep up the good work! Panel is simply amazing!!!

Can you share how you used the index method to show thumbnails in the app gallery page please? I really would like to use it but reading the GitHub issues from @Marc , @philippjfr and @jbednar it seems like it is not a priority right now (understandably)?
