Hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am new to the forum (and to Drupal!).
I am developing a site using Drupal. Am using Zenophile Midnight and have created a Zen sub Theme. This has three columns, each with a black background.
I am trying to edit a View but when I open the views/edit node I find when I try to create a Filter the text does not show (presumably because it is black). How can I change this just for these pages and not for the whole site? I know the text is there as I can mark it by dragging over it.
Would be grateful for your help.
If you log in as the administrator of the site and select Administer > Site Configuration > Administration Theme there you can change the theme that is used for site administration. This does not affect the theme used by the site for the public view of the site.
You can select the default Garland theme for administration and your custom theme can be applied to the rest of the site.

I created a theme and a Liferay-look-and-feel.xml file with two color-schemes. I deploy the theme, install it, but when I run it on my website, I receive the follow message "There are no configurable plugins for this app.".
Any suggestions?
I believe by the message you're getting you are in "App Manager". This is good, it means your theme is installed and ready for use. To use your theme, you must configure each site with the theme you've installed. In Liferay, each site is capable of having their own look and data.
To change a sites look and feel, follow the following steps:
Navigate to the site you want to modify.
In the upper right hand, select "Admin", then "Pages".
Here, you should see a list of themes and the color schemes.
Select your theme and the color scheme you desire.
Hit save on the right hand side near the navigation.
When you return to your site you should see your new theme.
I'd like to ask if you came up with a solution that will allow for subsites to access a centralized document library at the parent level. I'm still trying to no avail. I've tried doc library templates, views, Doc Center and the best method i have OOTB is a page view web part on the subsites page display a view from the parents library. (by the way to remove the ribbon, append ?IsDlg=1 to the url and the ribbons hidden) cool tip. Say will you give be a Y/N on a solution that will allow one to keep a set of documents in the doc center and surface them in the sub-site.
There are another option without such hard coding. You can open any view of your document library, as mentioned earlier AllItems.aspx for example with SharePoint Designer. Open it for editing in advanced mode (there are option when you click right mouse button on file in SP Designer). Then just point mouse cursor inside web part and chose in ribbon web parts, Add to Site gallery, see the picture. Fill in name of new web part. That is all, now you can add this web part on any page on any web site from webpart gallery through the user interface or through the SP Designer by clicking Insert, Web Part in the ribbon on any page.
You can do this by editing the AllItems.aspx (or other view page) and scraping off the WebPartPages:ListViewWebPart and pasting it into a page on the subsite.
This will give you an error "List does not exits The page you selected contains a list that does not exist."
Then you need to get the WebID for the root site (where you took the ListViewWebpart from and replace the part of the webpart that looks like this:
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</WebId>
with (for example)
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">7b04dee8-b120-4dee-abea-28b77316ec7d</WebId>
I am using a custom theme for the front end of my drupal website.I created it by modifying garland theme.And I am using garland as the admin theme.
When I try to edit a page from admin it shows the edit page with my custom theme (http://example.com/node/2/edit?destination=admin%2Fcontent%2Fnode). And It breaks up the layout.
I want to show the admin theme for all the admin tasks. This problem also occurs on the blocks page (http://example.com/admin/build/block).
Is there any custom module or core hack to show admin theme when editing pages.
If you want to use admin theme by non-admin users you must give permissions to that user: Permitions->System->View the administration theme
Be sure that you check the option in the page example.com/admin/settings/admin
To get the admin theme showing for non-admin users, I went to admin/people/permissions/list and checked the "View the administration theme" box for all roles.
Sounds simple except that the Filter list wasn't showing that entry when I typed theme, so it took me awhile to find it. Finally I used the browser find to find all instances of the word "theme".
Or, you could type "System" in the Filter list to show only a few options in the relevant category.
You can use admin theme module, download and install it , the go to permission in dmin/people/permissions then in Administration theme set permission to waht user you want by checking Access administration theme.
Then goto http://chapboo.com/admin/appearance in bottom of the page in custom page add
admin/*
node/add/*
node/*/edit
and finally clear the cache
You have to check the checkbox under:
exemple.com/admin/appearance
Please advice: where drupal stores info about current active themes? Which table?
I upgraded Drupal, and when I enter admin area I have white screen of death. IMHO custom theme is causing that issue, could somebody help me?

The current theme globally set a Drupal site is saved in the variable theme_default. If users are then allowed to change theme, the theme they chose is saved in the users table; in that case, if you have selected a theme that is different from the default one for your account, you need to change the user data for your account directly in the database.
Looking at the reply you have given in the other answers, I wonder if the problem is really the theme. To be sure it is the theme, you should try setting another theme.
If you set a admin theme that is not the default theme used for the site, and the problem is the admin theme, you can disable it in the database; in that way, that theme is not anymore used as admin theme, and the default theme will be instead used. The database table containing the theme enabled for the site is system.
If you think the problem is being caused by a custom theme, you can just move it out from the themes or sites/all/themes directory.
Does any body know how can i change the layout of a dotnetnuke website. I need to modify the standard layout
You can use a custom skin or modify the default skin that comes with the DNN installation. The default skin files are in [Website]\Portals_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy\ where [Website] is your DNN web site folder. If you are new to skinning and have a lot of questions, I am sure that the DNN forums will be helpful - DNN Skinning forums
You can do that by editing the CSS. I had similar issue, for which I used " inspect element" in google chrome that helped me in recognizing div elements and css properties. You can find css in portals_default\Skins\DarkKnight (or your own skin name) \skin.css
If your wanting to do anything outside of the CSS (ie, turn off the search bar on a page); then you have to have full access to the site -- open the site via FTP or download all the files, then you can modify the 'default' page, or the skin file you want to change. my suggestion is to make a 'copy' of the skin default page you want to change, give it a new name, and then save it back to the server. When you go to change the 'skin' theme from the 'site manager' you will see your new skin page listed as an option. Modifying from the CMS does not allow you to modify the actual 'page', only its 'parts'. There is also a starter kit available for Visual Studio, google "DNN Starter Kit" which you can create custom modules, skins and containers.
