Admin Skin lets you use a different skin for the ACP, or for profiles, than the skin that runs the rest of your site. For example, the ACP can stay on a plain skin like Elastic 2 while the public site uses a custom design.
ACP > Modules > Admin > Admin Skin
The module has no settings of its own. When it's active, each skin's Info tab (ACP > Skins > (skin) > Info) gets two more options next to Set As Active Skin:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Set As Active Admin Skin | This skin is used for the ACP and admin pages. |
| Set As Active Profile Skin | This skin is used for profile pages. |
Check one, save, and that part of the site switches to the skin. A part with no skin set uses the active skin.
Use it together with Admin Hover Menu. It gives you ACP navigation on any skin.
