Guide to change the theme of the admin pages

Post by Crazziee » Thu May 26, 2011 4:52 pm

Hi,
Does anyone have a guide to change the admin pages(theme) ? I want to make a distinction between live and dev. That way when we are testing or working on live it will be easy to tell them apart.

thanks

I have done that by changing the background color in the dev site in the Admin stylesheet. It's an obvious indicator that way.

I agree with jmestep, change this CSS on the App_Themes/AbleCommerceAdmin/style.css (assuming that is still the theme for your admin side)

Change

Code: Select all

/* styling for body */
body
{
	padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;
	background:#BDD8FE url(images/background_image.gif) repeat-x top left;

}
To this:

Code: Select all

/* styling for body */
body
{
	padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;
	background-color:blue
}
You should have no problem distinguishing.
