Admin themes model : What is it for?

Hello, what is the admin theme for? I can't figure it out or customize it directly.

Thank you.

Hi @gabigab117 ,

with this model you can create themes overriding all css variables. If you create a theme and you activate it, the Theme content is injected INSTEAD OF https://github.com/otto-torino/django-baton/blob/master/baton/static/baton/css/root.css

So you can override all variables but also add styles at your will.

So, I can overide css just in the admin ? without files ?

Exactly. The only thing that it's a bit tricky due to how boostrap sass compilation is performed is changing the primary color everywere. Setting --bs-primary is not enough because the primary color is used when generating other variables at compile time, but it's still doable, you just need to override all these variables.

As stated in the documentation pay attention, the code inserted is considered safe! Bad guys could inject any kind of things, it's more a superadmin feature.
