Change layout of the administrative dashboard

Omeka S Themes

Hello, sorry if this is a faq but how can I configure the administrative dashboard and is it possible to have a multi lingual UI for it?

The main change I would like to make is have an RTL UI for the dashboard, and hopfully change the menus and button labels, in the same way it is possible in the sites.

Thanks!

So the RTL part was quite easy:

  1. Add ->appendAttribute(‘dir’, ‘rtl’) to the <?php echo $this->htmlElement('body'); ?> tag in /application/view/layout/layout-admin.phtml
  2. Add
    #menu{
    direction:rtl;
    text-align:right;
    }
    to the top of /application/asset/css/style.css

I will not be surprised if some more changes are required and I will update here if they are. And obviously if this is not the standard or accepted way to do this I will be glad to be corrected.
