How to change the backoffice default Visual Theme

The Visual Theme that is used as default is defined in the file: /framework/common/data/CommonTypeData.xml
For example, to set the chrome theme as default, replace the line:

Code Block

<UserPreference userLoginId="NA" userPrefTypeId="VISUAL_THEME" userPrefGroupTypeId="GLOBAL_PREFERENCES" userPrefValue="DEFAULT"/>

with the following one:

Code Block

<UserPreference userLoginId="NA" userPrefTypeId="VISUAL_THEME" userPrefGroupTypeId="GLOBAL_PREFERENCES" userPrefValue="CHROME"/>
