Hello,
I'm attempting to migrate an existing website into SilverStripe by creating a new theme. Since the stylesheet is already written, I'm attempting to simply use my main CSS file as the "layout.css" of the new theme. I have also added blank "typography.css" and "form.css" files to the theme's css directory so that the font declarations and form styles in my original stylesheet are respected.
I have read in the documentation that it's best to use the "typography" div so that the admin interface is not affected by the theme. I have not done so (I'm trying to avoid non-semantic elements, and I'd prefer not to change the site's structure).
I don't see any changes in the admin panel as a result of this approach; the login page, however, is affected. Is there any way to have the login page simply use the default theme instead? If so, I would love some detailed info on this (I am totally new to CMSs).
Many thanks,
ST
