    copied!<p>It seems to me like Compass is just a tool to write CSS. I've never used it, but at the moment I don't see how it could make modding the admin interface any easier than doing it manually!</p> <p>Whenever I make changes to the admin (I've made changes to <code>Grappelli</code>, like you're trying to do), I always use what you've listed as number 2. I've never had any troubles! I can try to help you out, if you'd like to try again.</p> <p>What I do first is go to my <code>Python</code> install directory and copy the <code>Grappelli</code> source from <code>Lib/site-packages</code>. I put this code in my project directory as a project-level app. So, if you're using <code>Django 1.4</code>, you'll have a folder that has your project folder as well as <code>manage.py</code> in it. Put the code there.</p> <p>Then, using your favorite web developer tools (I prefer Chrome's), figure out which stylesheet you need to modify and which <code>css</code> file it's in. I do this by right-clicking the element and selecting Inspect Element. This brings up the dev tools, and at the right it tells you the <code>css</code> file its referenced from as well as which line its on. If you open up that <code>css</code> file in your favorite text editor and make changes to it, it should work!</p> <p>Let me know if you're having any trouble with this. I can try to help you out further.</p> <p>(and, P.S., I wasn't trying to be pedantic with a basic overview of the use of Chrome's developer tools. I was just trying to be helpful by not assuming anything. I hope you don't take it as an insult.)</p>
