Prestashop is highly customization software. Prestashop gives you ability to change things on the fly.

Making prestashop back office theme is a big topic to cover here on stackoverflow. But still I would give some basic idea how it can be done.

1) Copy original back office theme /admin***/themes/default theme in the same folder and give it a name you want.

2) For global changes related to css in backoffice you can leverage file /admin***/themes/mytheme/css/override.css

3) As any other traditional php architecture in prestashop also you have main header.tpl and footer.tpl in location /admin***/themes/mytheme/template.

4) In prestashop for each page in back office you can see controllers in url. In order to make changes to those controller pages. You can look under admin***/themes/mytheme/template/controllers/controller_you_want_to_modify.

5) If you want to make any change in the controller functionality, you can override that particular controller by copying original controller from /controllers/admin/controller_you_want_to_change to /override/controllers/admin/. Once done feel free to make any change to controller file.

In this guide you can find the answer:

http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Characteristics+of+a+back-office+theme

for the back-office theme you need to insert the file edited from /admin/theme/default/templates into /override/controllers/admin/templates.

Hope this can help you
