Default CSS styles and Skin templates Home vs. Admin

Hello,

If you visit my x cart website (see sig), you can see I made changes to the menus and CSS rules. However, I'm stumped because, whenever I make changes to the Home (customer) side, it makes changes to the Admin Side, too. The changes made to the home/customer side is the way I want it. The changes on the Admin side are not the same. Colors are different. Menu Images aren't popping up. Diffrent font colors.

I must be doing something wrong.

Also, Is there a way that I can tie the CSS, Templates, and skins of the HOME and ADMIN sides, together? So, I only have to make the changes once. Or is that not wise to do?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Mr Rogerz

The home and admin sides are split for a reason...most people don't want the same graphic-intensive look on the admin side. I don't recommend linking them, no. Some templates are shared however:

menu.tpl
dialog.tpl
rectangle_top.tpl
rectangle_bottom.tpl

I recommend putting in {if} statements to display one version to admin, one to customer.

Are these the ONLY templates that are shared? or are there others?

Add head.tpl to the list above; still figuring out which other ones are shared...
