title: Customizing page views
---

In order to change the appearance of any page,
you can write custom Rails views.
You can provide replacements for any of Administrate's templates.
This way you can change the appearance of any page or element of
the interface.

In general, you can override any of the views under Administrate's
[/app/views][1].
For example, say that you want to customize the template used for flash
messages. You can provide your own as
`/app/views/administrate/application/_flashes.html.erb`, and it will replace
Administrate's own.

Figuring out which views are available and where can be repetitive. You can
spare yourself some effort by using the built-in view generators.

The easiest way to get started is by using the built-in generators.
In order to change the appearance of views for all resource types,
call the generators with no arguments.
