Hi, Team

Is there any way to change the background of the dashboard in Kibana GUI? I would like to change the default white one to a static map. Any solution?  
I saw a similar post, the solution is to change the source code and use the plugin of Elastic Search. The thing is I am using AWSElastic search, not Elastic Search. Is it possible to change the background of the dashboard?

It's not possible at this stage without code changes.

Thanks for reply.  
I am using AWS Elastic Search, can I change the background through editing code? How can I do that?

I mean  
because I am using AWSElastic Search, not Elastic Search, I cannot edit the source code to change background. Am I correct?

You'd have to ask AWS about that, we don't support their offering.
