Customize boring layout

Hi may i know how to customize the Cakephp interface layout? I would like my cake app layout to at least look something like this http://chocotemplates.com/preview/gui/spring-time/#
1) how to remove the left action button?
2) how to add the tab button at the header page?
3) Add margin * auto to make the site have left and right margin and make the body centered.

I have tried to change and i could not find the necessary file which allow me to edit these simple things above. Please advice.

a) change the layout /views/layouts/default.ctp

b) use custom templates for the views: http://www.dereuromark.de/tag/custom-template/

you can change just about anything.

CakePhp is a framework, not a CMS =)

you have probably used the bake function to create the Views, well first you'll need to redefine the layout so you could add the css/js files you'll need (in "/views/layouts").. and also to define the id's and class names of your elements.

so basically all you need to do is to modify your html/css manually in the views (.ctp files inside the /views folder).

But maybe you want to redefine the way that cake create the views when baking. Maybe there are some good samaritans on the internet that share their templates with the world.

Hope this helps =)
