The
background color is defined in $cfg['RightBgColor'], and the default color
is #F5F5F5. We can also select a background image by setting the URI of the
image we want (for example, http://www.domain.com/images/clouds.jpg) in
$cfg['RightBgImage'].
Interface Overview
[ 58 ]
Home Page
The home page may contain a varying number of links depending on the login mode
and the user's rights. A normal user may see it as:
The Home link from the left panel is used to display this page. It shows the
phpMyAdmin and MySQL versions, the MySQL server name, and the logged-in
user. We also see that this user does not have the privileges to create a database. We
see some links that relate to MySQL or phpMyAdmin itself. The Log out link might
not be there if automatic login was done, as indicated by the configuration file.
In this example, a normal user is not allowed to change his or her password from
the interface. To allow this password change, we set $cfg['ShowChgPassword'] to
TRUE. Privileged users have more options on the home page. They can always create
databases and have more links to manage the server as a whole (Server view):

Another setting, $cfg['ShowPhpInfo'], can be set to TRUE if we want to see the
Show PHP Information link on the Home page.
Database View
phpMyAdmin goes into this view (shown in the screenshot that follows) every time
we click on a database name from the left frame, or if the USE command followed by
a database name is typed in a SQL box.
