custom_theme.scss

The custom-theme.scss file is located at peacock-user-ui/user-config/custom-theme.scss by default. It contains Bootstrap 4 scss variables and overrides the default Bootstrap values. It must be used to change any general styling rules like spacing, sizes, colors etc. You can also add your own color variables to use them via Bootstrap classes or add other new variables.

UserImprint.vue and UserPrivacyPolicy

The UserImprint.vue and UserPrivacyPolicy.vue files are located at peacock-user-ui/src/components/user/. They are more or less empty vue components where you should implement your Imprint/PrivacyPolicy pages in if you do not use external pages for those cases (configurable in glue-config.js).

index.js

The index.js file is located at peacock-user-ui/config/index.js by default and is generated by the Vue-Webpack-Bundle. It contains several configurations for the development and production build process.
