Changing the CMSDesk and CMS Site Manager

I have a staging server and a production server as well as a developer box that all use Kentico's CMS Desk and Site Manager. It is sometimes confusing to tell in the flurry of work, which "box" I am working on...you have to look at the URL to tell. Is there a way to easily change the color scheme of the CMSDesk/CMSSiteManager top? My thinking is that, similar to my server desktop backgrouns, which I color differently so you can tell which machine you are on at a glance, I could change the CMSDesk from its standard Blue colors to Red or Green so that a user always knows what box they are on. Is this something that can be done easily?

RE:Changing the CMSDesk and CMS Site Manager

Hi,

you could change one line in the CMSDesk stylesheet, i.e. in file
~/App_Themes/Default/CMSDesk.css

section:


.CMSDeskHeader
{
    background-image: url(./Images/Design/Backgrounds/CMSDeskHeader.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    margin: 0px;
    height: 49px;
}

Instead of default blue CMSDeskHeader.png image you could use your own so the top of the admin section would have a different color.

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova
