Customizing Messages in CMSDesk
The messages displayed to the user after saving in the CMS Desk are very bland and hard to see. I would like to customize them following the examples in the following blog: CSS Messages

I saw that I can edit the CSS file DesignMode.css and change the following classes:
.PageManagerInfo
.InfoLabel
to make the messages stand out more.

Is there any other way to do this?
Will my changes be overridden when we upgrade to a newer version of the CMS?

Thanks,
Oran

RE:Customizing Messages in CMSDesk
Hello,

From designer point of view it should be enough to work with following CSS classes:

.PageManagerInfoContainer

.PageManagerInfo


You have control over enwrapping div and text's span elements, so you are able to give them look and feel as per your needs.

You can add their definitions, as you correctly mentioned, to following stylesheet:
~\App_Themes\Default\DesignMode.css

In case you want to be 100% sure you don't override those styles, you can add them to your main site stylesheet.

Best regards
