Hello, yesterday I spent some hours searching for the text phrase shown in the administration page "This is the LimeSurvey admin interface. Start to build your survey from here.". I wanted to exchange the phrase to a more personal one, but I woludnt find the source.

- I searched the whole SQL Database, but the phrase wouldnt appear here.

- I tried analyzing the administration front page with Google Chrome, but all I found was something about
<p class="hidden-xs"> and
innerHTML "This is the LimeSurvey admin interface. Start to build your survey from here."
innerText "This is the LimeSurvey admin interface. Start to build your survey from here."

I am using the latest Limesurvey revision 2.65.0.

Thanks for a hint!
Regards madscience!

1) Create a custom admin theme - manual.limesurvey.org/Custom_Admin_Themes

2) In config.xml of the new theme:
- Add a new "presentation" field to the "metadatas" section
- Modify "last_update" so the assets manager will pick up any changes
- The resulting config.xml will look something like this:

Thanks a lot, this worked out for me, but only by rewriting the xml information in teh Sea Green theme. In the Global Settings I could choose my Custom Theme, but everytime I clicked th "Save" Button it jumped back to default. Even though I activated custom js in the plugin manager.

My next step is to change the footer in the admin theme, here I also would like to customize the pictures and hyperlinks. I know how to change the pictures, but the concerning hyperlinks are in another script, I guess.

Yes you are right. We decided to leave the footer the way it is. We were just in some kind of customizing fever. But there is no need to change this.
