Administration pages problem with skins

I am using 2 skins for my site. The default is used site-wide for content. I made a second skin that is used just for the homepage because it has a unique layout.

It seems all of the admin/edit pages use the default skin, all except the "Add New Page" dialog. That one is using my secondary (home) skin. The problem with this is that content area is very small and unsuitable for any administration. Is the way to change this? Force all admin pages to use the default skin?

Thanks for any help.

Tim

Re: Administration pages problem with skins

Hi Tim,

I agree with you that PageSettings.aspx should use the site default skin when creating a new page. It correctly uses the page skin when editing an existing page, but it was using the home page skin when creating a new page as you pointed out, and that is a bug. I just fixed it in my copy so it will be fixed in the next release.

Most admin pages do use the default site skin, but PageLayout.aspx and PageSettings.aspx are intended to use the page specific skin, but you are correct that in the context of creating a new page PageSettings.aspx should use the site default skin.

Best,

Joe
