I need to make some modifications to the style.css in the admin area. This stylesheet is located in the \\Areas\Admin\Views directory structure.

Modifying the style.css works, however I prefer not to touch this file. Can I override this file by placing an identical file someplace else like we can do in themes?

Thanks

I'm not sure if it is possible via themes. I could get custom views to work, but it wouldn't automatically pick up CSS files in the directory structure. I think the _Layout.cshtml file needs to be edited to include a custom CSS file, or you need to register the custom CSS as part of a bundle in the BundleConfig.cs file.

Sorry if I confused you, it has nothing to do with themes, I said to mimic the Functionality of themes by overwriting certain parts of the style.css. In other words, I do not want to edit the admin style.css directly, but have a copy someplace else that the admin backend will pick up.

Note: You can do this now with "cshtml" files in admin under ..\view\custom\dir ...

I hope this helps clarify.

Hi,

This is not possible with CSS style includes on the admin side. You can only override cshtml files in admin.

To override the style.css styles, you can add styles in custom.css that is already included in the project and placed in the same folder.

Hope this helps!

I figured as much, I created a custom stylesheet, strictly for the admin, and I will reference it when needed on the view files.

Thanks
