Changing colour display of admin console

[Laura@FYP]

Is there a way of changing the design of the admin console (setting a different colour template?) as we now have 2 BP sites and Im already finding it a challenge figuring out where I am when I am signed into both at the same time! I seem to recall seeing something somewhere about doing that, but cant for the life of me find it now!

I don't know if that is possible but it would help no end if it was.

Not seen anything about being able to change the colours. To be honest its not really a problem to us. If we get confused we just look at the URL address bar to confirm

I changed the wrong shop's settings yesterday, luckily I double checked before I confirmed the changes but that was more luck than a conscious decision - I was trying to copy the settings from one of the shops to the other but in fact I copied the wrong settings - I copied from the settings I didn't want rather than the other way round. I now have four admin consoles open at once and all four tabs start with Bluepark CMS in the tabs - even if it had the shop's name there it would be helpful but not as useful as having the admin colour coded.

Buy more monitors and have one in each monitor!

Yeah that would be a lot of extra monitors and expense if I wanted everyone in the office to be able to access both admin consoles! With things as they are at the moment, being the slight control freak that I am, I feel as though only I can have access to the second site, as it would worry me no end that someone else would make a similar mistake to the one you describe Nadine!

Unfortunately, we don't have access to the ADMIN folder only USER so we can't customise the Admin screens unless Richard builds in something to do it. I agree, it would be a good idea for those of you with more than one site.

Although no benefit to us, I think this would be a useful addition.

Every time without fail John, every time!

I was being serious, we have two monitors on every desk, mainly to keep Amazon UK & Amazon DE open at the same time but I'm sure you could do it with Bluepark and just put a stickie on each monitor for which site it was to be used for.

Or being able to choose different coloured skins as a furture request would be more cost efective for most people

Hi - I've a little suggestion - a bit cheaper than John's. Have two browsers on your pc and keep the sites separate when working on them by only using one of the two browsers. eg Firefox for site 1 and IE for site 2. Of course you still need to check that you are working in the correct browser/site - so it is not perfect.

I have four sites and only three browsers. Even if the Bluepark CMS was replaced by the site name that would help.

That's a good idea. Also you can have different order prefixes for each site.

Another idea would be to have a custom header for the admin pages - i.e. where it says Bluepark solutions
