How to customize HTML structure in ActiveAdmin layout?

I am trying to change the structure and design of the components of the ActiveAdmin layout, such as the navbar menu, icons and customize it to my style. Is this possible?

I need to overwrite the source code to be able to change the HTML structure, but I have tried to do it by placing files in the / lib folder and I have not succeeded. How could I overwrite the ActiveAdmin source code within my Rails project?

It is possible but many developers have discovered it is not easy. If you look through the various plugins you will find examples like Custom Layout, Sidebar, Menu and SubNav that may inspire you. However, if you are new to ActiveAdmin and your first priority is to customize the layout heavily then consider Administrate or vanilla Rails instead: they are still difficult, but you will be fighting the framework less.
