hello,
i want to make custom skin and custom file manager.. can giive any documention how i can change it anyone can help me?
 
Here are some links to get you started:

DirectAdmin Skins Tutorial, The Basics: https://www.directadmin.com/skin_basics.php

DirectAdmin Skins Tutorial, Extended guide: https://www.directadmin.com/skins.php

I want to customize the appearance of DA and what it can do: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=294

How to customize one portion of a DA skin, without needing to create your own skin: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=295

However I think the links above is most suited when looking at the Enhanced skin and when you want to code it with same type of template files as Enhanced (the new Evolution skin I think uses Vue/json, and I think coding it like that needs some different and new tutorials).

thanks a lot you have any idea about file manager?
 
When using the same template system as Enhanced skin, you edit the filemanager skin the same way as the other templates. They are located here: /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/user/filemanager

However please note that it is more limited what you are able to change in the filemanager beacuse the filemanager is chrooted beause extra needed security. That only means that you will not be able to do search/replace in hardcoded items in the filemanager using this guide: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=74 - you can only use that guide/function in the rest of the skin, but it will not work in the filemanager.

Please note that I have not tested the Evolution skin, so maby you have more possibilites changing the filemanager if you code a new skin using vue/json like Evolution skin. I just don't know. What I am talking about is what you can do when making a skin using the same setup (template files) as the Enhanced skin.

If you need/want to remove one or more features in the filemanager, you can use this: Ability to shut off certain features of the File Manager: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2308

You can speed up filemanager (when there is a lot of files to calculate size/number) byt this feature: folder disk usage in filemanager: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=678
 
I wouldn't suggest going "custom filemanager in a skin" way :) You can simply code/integrate any filemanager (including your own-coded one) as a plugin for DirectAdmin, that way it'd work with any skin, and you could just 'hide' the menu section for the integrated one if you don't like the way it works (suggestions are welcome).

Thank you!
