Style the admin panel with CSS

[Kier]

... that you can completely customize your Administrator and Moderator Control Panels using the small cp.css file, which lives in the base of your vBulletin installation?

One of the major changes that happened with my control panel changes for vB2 Release Candidate 1 was the change to an entirely CSS-based style system for the control panel.

To customize your own control panel, you can simply open up the cp.css file in any text editor, and get busy entering your own custom colors and fonts using standard CSS definitions.

This is how the control panel for my own forums looks right now:

I hate to rain on everybody's parade, but there are some hardcoded colors still in the admin files...namely announcement.php, avatar.php, icon.php, smilie.php, user.php, and usergroup.php. (If anyone wants line numbers I'd be more than happy to provide them.)

[Kier]

Yeah, I know about those... I'll be getting rid of them for the next release.

Neat idea & good that it'll be made more comprehensive,

Awesome! That looks great. I was just going to ask about how to change things in there. Since only 2 people see it -- my co-mod & myself -- I don't feel like it needs to be fancy (maybe when I have some time just for fun!), but the preset color scheme is a little dark for my eyes and need to be changed. I'm gonna see what I can do with it. Thank.
