To those wondering where to put this override data from Adam's response above, it would depend on where your TEMPLATES DIRS are assigned in the settings file. For example:
settings.py
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')),], # <- Template path to put the html file
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
Note the DIRS directory. This translates to a templates folder at the same level as my manage.py file.
Inside that templates folder i have another folder called admin and an html file called base. So it looks like this: \projectname\templates\admin\base.html
Then in the base.html file i have the code Adam mentions from the documentation theming support
{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% block extrahead %}{{ block.super }}
<style>
:root {
--primary: #9774d5;
--secondary: #785cab;
--link-fg: #7c449b;
--link-selected-fg: #8f5bb2;
--body-fg: #333;
--body-bg: #fff;
--body-quiet-color: #666;
--body-loud-color: #000;
--darkened-bg: #f8f8f8; /* A bit darker than --body-bg */
--selected-bg: #e4e4e4; /* E.g. selected table cells */
--selected-row: #ffc;
}
</style>
{% endblock %}
This should now work for you. If you use these exact settings here, it will be a light theme with purple. Then you can just accordingly.
