How to restyle the look and branding of PowerCMS for my client's website?

Hi,

I need to have a couple of pages within an already existing website to be set up on PowerCMS to hand off to my client.
I was wondering if there is a way to access the branding files and css to restyle the back-end interface of PowerCMS to match the look and feel of the admin Back-end I have already set up for my client to manage the products catalog.

If so, where are these files found or how would I go about doing that?

Thank you

the CMS Admin css is stored in the /css/admin.css file.

you can use fire bug to inspect the elements of the admin pages and determine the styles that effect them. see this tutorial for details:

Thanks Jason,

I use Firebug quite regularly, so that should be a breeze.

When setting up Power CMS though, do I need to set up a separate Database and Database connection? Or can I just add another table to the one database I have already?

I personally prefer to use a separate database for the solutions.
