Questions about customizing cPanel groups and plugins (Help!)

[Mander]

I was wondering what I had to do to create a new group in cPanel that would be located on the left instead of the middle where the regular groups are

Im also having a hard time figuring out where to put the title of the actual box so that it shows up, i have an instance name for it to upload my plugins inside of it but it has no name.

and if someone has an example of thier plugin generator form completely filled out so that it works and links to the correct place, that could be helpful as well

Thanks to whoever takes the time to answer these questions, I am new to cPanel altogether and could really use the help.

HostGator made their own theme... this is not possible with just X3 and cPanel.

If you are able to download the actual html and css script from your server, shouldn't there just be a code to add that creates the design you want?, im just not sure where to put what, etc

Sure you can copy the x3 theme edit it as you see fit and use it. However you need to realize that any updates to x3 will not be included in your theme.

ok, so you'll want to edit /usr/loca/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/branding/extended_statsbar.html

you'll also want to create a postupcp script (/scripts/postupcp) that overwrites this file with your modifications.

We never encourage this type of modification, however I understand the need (sometimes)
