Custom styles for backend editor textareas

Hey there,
is there a way to do this?

Can I use styles-txp.css in /themes for that purpose?
Or can I use a directive in config.php to link to a custom css?

(As always, I feel like I did this before, but for the life of me I can’t remember how nor where I did it ,–)

Cheers!

See custom-example.css. If I recall correctly, the admin theme will load custom.css on its own if it’s in your admin theme’s assets/css folder. Phil’s put all manner of useful information in there.

Re: Custom styles for backend editor textareas

So, just to have this complete & in one place:

As proposed by Bloke right here #299719, the directive in config.php goes like this …

define('admin_custom_css', 'custom-funtoosh.css');

(In custom-example.css it is still define('admin_custom_css', true); )

… and, as a quick example, say you want to add custom fonts to your textareas, this would do the trick, in textpattern/admin-themes/hive/assets/css/custom-funtoosh.css add sth. along the lines of:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'funtoosh';
    src: url('/relative/path/fonts/funtoosh.woff2') format('woff2');
}
#title, #body, #excerpt { 
    font-family: 'funtoosh', sans-serif; 
}

Re: Custom styles for backend editor textareas

I think you can even just name your file custom.css in the assets folder of your admin theme (either directly in hive or in one of your own) and it will automatically be detected without you having to add anything to config.php.

Re: Custom styles for backend editor textareas

Jakob, that’s correct, as soon as a file named custom.css is available in textpattern/admin-themes/hive/assets/css/ it is being used, no need to modify the config!
