I today discovered nextcloud’s manual / advanced theming options through a theme placed in the themes/ directory.  
Is there a complete list of theming options available somewhere? Specifically how to define a background for the login screen?

I want to do it via an advanced theme in the themes/ directory as described [here](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/developer_manual/core/theming.html)  
The reason is: This would allow me to have different brandings for different domains as [described here](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/howto-individual-themes-per-domain/27585/6)
