XF 2.3 Change colour of admin panel

[Andreas.Tech]

Hello,

can someone please tell me, where I find the config file that contains the colours for the admin panel?

I would like to change them and make them less bright...

Thank you

 

[Mr Lucky]

In http://example.com/src/config.php

Add this line:
$config['adminColorHueShift'] = 80;

Change 80 to suit. (80 just happens to be is a jaunty purple colour I like)

Thanks,
I added the line, and tried with 80 and 50, but I see no changes in the admin panel colours.

Btw: Is there a resource, where I can find all those $config features, I can implement in the config.php file?
Thx

Thanks, I added the line, and tried with 80 and 50, but I see no changes in the admin panel colours.

Try 250?

Try 250?

No, changes nothing. No matter what value I save.

Ok, thanks.

It would be great if I could just find that one file, which contains all colours for xenforo, incl. admin panel colours.

But I haven't found it yet...

Then you aren't editing the correct config.php file.

There is no one file.
There are over 100 .less templates.

Nowhere because there is no config file for colors.

Not really possible (except for the hue shift).

src/addons/XF/_data/templates.xml and src/addons/XF/_data/style-properties.xml but those files will be more or less useless to you.

Just a thought, what version are you using? This was actually broken in the first couple of 2.3 beta version.

I am editing public_html / src.

And it has worked now.

src/addons/XF/_data/templates.xml and src/addons/XF/_data/style-properties.xml but those files will be more or less useless to you.

Ok, still thanks. Will look into it.

I am using 2.2.12


Colour has changed now!

But only of the sidepanel (now I know what it does).

However, wanted to change background colour too.

Still, this makes it already better by a lot.


Thank you.


Darkmode for Admin Panel won't be possible, I guess...

Have to use the browser darkmode addon.

2.3 has dark mode for the front end and ACP.
