How to Change the administrator template in Joomla 1.5

The first step is easy. You download the administrator template you wish to use (or create one from scratch, if you are so inclined), and you install it. Installing an administrator template is just like installing any other Joomla! extension. You login to yoursite.com/administrator, and you click on Extensions->Install/Uninstall.

 

On the extension installer screen, you browse for your template file and click "Upload and Install" to upload and install the template.

 

Once you have installed the template, you need to go to the administrator template manager by clicking Extensions->Template Manager. Once there, you click on "Administrator" just underneath the "Template Manager" header to view the list of templates.

 

In the template list, select the radio button next to the template you wish to set as the default administrator template, and click the "Default" button in the toolbar.

 

That's all there is to it. You should immediately see your new template active in the administrator area.
