Create Custom Admin Skin


Recommended Posts

After a brief look-see, there can be more administrative skins. In admin, Store Settings, Layout tab, the Default admin skin can be chosen. (I have yet to find a means, if it exists, for any one admin to be assigned a specific admin skin.)

The drop-down selector is populated by a list created from code that scans the admin /skins/ folder for other folders. For a folder in admin's /skins/ to be considered an admin skin folder, that folder must have an /images/ folder, a /styles/ folder, and a /templates/ folder.

I just wondered if a custom config file or something had to be created

also should you keep the default skin uploaded?  I'm wonderig because I created a new admin skin and as you know, brian, I keep getting all these errors and i thought it might be picking up something from an old skin.  When I keep the name "default" I don't get all the errors.

A specific config.xml file is not needed.

There is no harm in keeping the skin named 'default'. It seems to me that the 'default' skin must exist in order to get at the selector to change it.

However, by adding:

$glob['admin_skin'] = "custom";

to the /includes/global.inc.php file, one can force the alternate skin to be used.
