Do you use a custom AdminCP style?

    For your control panels do you use a custom style for your Admin/ModCP's

    On my board we do, we have one which suits the colours of the main forum.

    I tend to stick with the default (or one of the default) theme(s). I don't think I've received a complaint yet in regards to the visual appearance. ;)

    Usually, yes. I tend to have a different theme for each forum I work on so that I can easily identify which AdminCP I'm working in (otherwise, mistakes happen - especially when working with templates).

    No, since I generally don't spend a great deal of time there in the first place, nor particularly care to edit something saw by only one person.

    I use the default, Sharepoint theme that comes with MyBB... Like Cheat-master30 said, it's useless to have a custom one when only the administrators will see it. Though, the Sharepoint style is very sleek!

    I also just use the default themes on mine. I do have them mixed up since vB comes with a few different ones preinstalled I like a little variety from time to time.

    I just use the default skin. I haven't even tried other skins out if I'm honest. However I would use a different one when I set more Boards up.

    Someone pointed out to me that having different styles could be useful if you've got several admin panels open at once, and I can see the logic in that. (Especially since I have, on occasion, screwed things up by making changes in the wrong admin panel... nothing I couldn't recover from though.) I still haven't bothered to make the changes yet! :)

    I was just about to touch upon this! We must think alike. ;)

    I actually do and sometimes I don't change styles.

    Though in MyBB I can't really work with the default one, so I use sharepoint.

    yes-so i dont get mixed up between which forum i am working on!

    with me as admin, there really needs to be as least possible ways things can go wrong as possible. knowing me i will delete or change something on the wrong forum. im suprised i have even kept a forum running for this long!

    :lol: Agreed. I'm bound to make some sort of mistake, and having different AdminCP themes reduces the probability of making one. :P
