Custom Admin CMS - Speed - 2013-07-23

Is there a way I could customize my Admin CMS. I mean, change Login and CMS background color, fonts, button style and etc .css rather than using admin.xml which is too limit?

Hi!
If you are eager to modify backend appearance completely you have to change some core files of the CMS. F.ex. get something like Firebug installed and take a look at the admin panel layout and how it is rendered.

You can change the file admin\template\style.php but if and only if you know exactly what you're doing and have a hang at CSS & PHP Big Grin

And your personal version of style.php can be incompatible with the next version of GS.

Good luck!

Arkady: I use chrome and Firebug don't working well with Chrome.

Noodles101: Thank you.. But with lack of instruction about plug-in... where do I place plugin? in Plugin forder or theme? Where or How to I start changing style?


RE: Custom Admin CMS - n00dles101 - 2013-07-24

just unzip the plugin into your plugins folder.

You'll have a new option under the Theme tab "Custom Admin CSS"

Just make your changes to the CSS in here rather than editing the core files...

Got it! Thank you noodles101....

I change style.php because of my bad eyesight. Backend fonts are too small for me, especially in Edit Components tab.

I'll look into "Custom Admin CSS" as well, Thanks noodles101
