Change background color of dashboard

[Cheesypuffs]

Hi

Due to a change in our logo, we need to change the default BLACK background header of the dashboard to white. Currently we have the default skin I believe of header in black, icons in orange and widgets/dashlets in grey. I would like to change the header to white and the icons to blue...Is this possible and if so how to do it. I am running OTRS 3.1.7

Thanks!

The current developer manual can be found at http://doc.otrs.org

Regarding how to find the correct CSS file: You should use a debugging tool like the ones built-in in Firefox or Chrome. There you can select an element of the site and you get all the CSS definitions that are defined for that element.

Start with "Core.Default.css" and "Core.Header.css"

Thank you ! I figured out the css classes I need to change for what i want to do, however im having a hard time seting my custom UI as default. For some reason the system dosent recognizes my custom skin as default. I can see it and manually set it on my preferences but it wont set as default for all agents as expected. If u guys have any tips on that, id appreciate it !
Thank you !

Did you try Framework -> Core::Web -> Loader::Agent::DefaultSelectedSkin ?

Thank you, that was what was missing. Now is there a way to remove all other skins from the system ? Or at least making it impossible for agents to switch from my custom skin ? Since its a company skin, they will be forced to use it and i cant allow them to switch to any other skin.
Thank you again !!!!

Navigate to Framework -> Frontend::Agent -> Loader::Agent::Skin###000-default (and the other entries) and disable it.

edit:

you might want to force their settings to your new skin first

I forced it to my custom skin as u sugested before. So im going to disable the others like u sugested.
Thank you ! You guys have been of great help !
