Drupal: Create a unique selector for admin styles?

Question

I'd like to style some components differently in the admin. How could I generate a unique id/class on the body element so I could style admin elements separately?

Answer 1

You can start by looking at the admin module. It helps you to create an admin theme and other AI improvements. I found that using the rubik theme.

You can also just put a class on admin pages, by checking the first argument in a preprocess function. For all admin pages they the first arg should be admin. The preprocess function should be in your theme's template.php file, and named according to your theme's name.
