Customizing Manager

Here is a screenshot of the current Manager



What I would like to do:

Top Blue Bar
Remove the Reports tab at the top (and schedule after clicking Reports)
Remove Search, New Resource, and New Weblink from the top.

Left Side
Remove the Site Tree
Right Side Tabs
Remove Configuration
Modx News
Security Notices
Rename Recent Resources
Remove Info
Remove Online

Right Side
Rename "Welcome to your MODx Content Manager"
Change image of Box
Change HTML
Change CSS

It seems like alot, but just in case I listed the specifics.. Is there a way to do all this?

You can remove several of the menu items by creating a role that does not include the rights to the items in the menu items. For example if the role does not allow modules then the module menu will be excluded.

THe Welcome page can be edited by manually editing the welcome.html document located (as of 1.0) in the assets/templates/manager/ folder.

The logo for the welcome and login pages can be changed by substituting the images in the manager/style/MODxCarbon/images/misc/ folder.

The css file is also in the MODxCarbon folder.

The recomended method is to duplicate the MODxCarbon folder and creating a custom theme and then selecting that as the theme in the site/configuration settings in the manager. THis way the files will not be replaced/overwritten during an upgrade.

The configuration tab will not be there once there are no more errors in the configuration, rather than removing it it is recommended that you resolve the errors which will then hide that tab.

thanks! i started changing things around and I was wondering is there a way to change the welcome page from welcome.html file to something else just so the welcome.html doesnt change when updating?
