Changing Control Panel theme

There are numerous pages online that I have found that describe what I need to do. I need to change the portal_ext.properties file with the theme:

control.panel.layout.regular.theme.id=mytheme_WAR_mythemetheme

I've changed the property in my portal-ext.properties file and I've even added a copy of the file to my portlet structure (docroot/WEB-INF). I've deployed, restarted tomcat, etc. No changes at all.

What am I missing? Better question - Why is this so unnecessarily difficult?

Or you could do this from control panel.

  1. Log in as Admin ([email protected] unless changed)
  2. Make sure you have deployed your theme.
  3. Go to: Control Panel → Portal Settings → Display Settings → Look and Feel → Default Control Panel Theme, and select your theme from the drop-down options.

Correct name of the file is portal-ext.properties not portal_ext.properties.

This file should go under your LIFERAY_HOME folder where LIFERAY_HOME is where liferay is deployed. Just create or edit this file at this location with this property and restart the server
