XF 2.2 Admin Style

[Cupara]

I'm wanting to alter the background of the admin style. I have never done that before so I'm wondering how I go about changing the background color of the admin area?

I added this to config.php and then did some trial and error with the number:

$config['adminColorHueShift'] = 80;

(There's addons but this is cheap and cheerful and does the job)

He and I run the same site. We're wanting to change the main background area too that's the same color as the background here, to something darker.

Main background is a different thing. Do that with style properties.

Do that with style properties.

Any changes made to the master style will be reset when the master data is rebuilt, i.e when upgrading.

The changes will also be reflected in the default style, as it is a child of the master.

We don't use the default style as a selectable option for users. We only enabled a custom theme for visitors so it wouldn't be too much of an issue. I just find the default background bright, compared to the rest of the site.

How do I set this to say... a dark red?

Edit: 155 seems to be a good number for dark red. (for future people searching for a way to change admin menus to red)

Mina background is a different thing. Do that with style properties.

None of these seemed to do anything in Basic Colors menu, is it in a different page?

I just did it in Style properties > Page Setup

But changing those color options in Basic colours should work

Hmm, selected a blue to test, then Ctrl F5'ed. Nope

All I can think of is that if something in a style property doesn't change on the front of the site as expected, then double check you are changing the same style you are viewing. That caught me out a few times.

Ya. I've verified its "Default style"
