(V6) Backpack-v6, cant overwrite ui.php

[christmex]

Hi guys, sorry for making so many questions 🙏 so I'm on a mission to test the backpack for laravel v6, and I'm trying to overwrite the config/backpack/ui.php
before it was like this the default one

then I add this to change the layout and auth_layout, but it doesn't work

IDK if I made a mistake, let me know, thanks 🙏

This file also gets overriden by the theme config files. If you have a v6 theme installed (you should) and one of them has a config (they should) then the active theme will override your ui.php.

To rephrase: if you're using the tabler-theme and its config file has auth_layout configured, then THAT value will be used, not the one in the ui.php config file.

Perhaps we should add a comment in the ui.php config file, to explain this?! I've added a note about this in Laravel-Backpack/CRUD#5097

PS. Thanks a lot for opening this @christmex . You hitting your head on quirks like this is how we find out if something is not intuitive or not working in v6. Thanks a lot 🙏

@tabacitu, thanks for the explanation 🙌

so based on your explanation, I made a new file config/backpack/theme-tabler.php and inside that file, it looks like this

and it works! Thx

Is this the correct way to overwrite it?

Once again, thanks 🙌

Cheers.
