How to change/edit the admin theme

[rowena]

Hi there,

i have just started using cmsms only a week ago and have already built my first site. this is definitely one of the easiest to use cms's i have come across an di think it's great.

i have only stumbled across one issue which i have checked for on this forum already, but have found no luck in gettin an answer.

i need to chnage the administartion theme for my site and i went to My Preferences --> User Preferences and saw that under the Administration theme drop dow, there were two options - default and the NClecnGrey theme which is the theme currently beign used. so i thought, this woudl be easy - all i have to do is now go to the Templates section and edit the theme there. however, the NCleanGrey theme was not there. nor was it in the Theme Manager.

so im a bit confused. how does one go about editing the current administration theme?

Backend themes cannot be edited that easy.
The template section or the ThemeManager is only for frontend templates.
You will find backend themes here: http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/Downloa ... hemes.html

To develop an own backend theme take a look into the dir "admin/themes".
There are the backend themes stored.
But it is not only templates and css but php as well.
Could not find any documentation how to create an own backend theme but actually i did not really search for it.

The easiest way would be to copy one theme and rename the directory, filename and the php class and change the css files.
