I'm looking to make some modification to the control panel color scheme and logo. Similar to what they did in the demo images on the BT server page here. http://www.buzztouch.com/BT-server/ Does anyone know what files to edit? Also, will I have to edit these files after every BT server update? Thanks, Wayne Title Comments I'm looking to make some modification to the control panel color scheme and logo.

This is not in the download but is created during the install so be sure to do this after installing. FTP to your server, copy the /files/mytheme folder. b) Paste and rename this folder so you have another theme, maybe mySecondTheme in the /files directory c) Change the Theme path in the Admin > Server Settings screen. Next, like @steve6883 explained, go to work hackign around in the .css file and update the logo. This approach will allow you to revert back to the original if you want. You could also create many theme folders and enter them in the contorl panel to see the differences. Comments Or... a) Copy the /mytheme folder from the /files directory.

Posts: 11 Reg: May 07, 2011 Poultney, VT 110	01/24/12 01:47 PM (14 years ago) Maybe this was answered somewhere else, but is there a way to change the favicon for the control panel? I was able to successfully customize the logo and theme, but even after replacing the original favicon.png file in the theme folder with the one I want, it still loads as the original. Any ideas would be appreciated. Comments Maybe this was answered somewhere else, but is there a way to change the favicon for the control panel?

I checked it on another computer and it loads up with my favicon - so maybe just need to clear cache or something on the computer I was working on. Comments Scratch the last question.
