Overriding wp-admin templates

  • Hey all,

    First off, just getting started in WordPress development (from Drupal) using 3.0. Love it. So much easier and sensible.

    I wanted to modify the new background image uploader to add a caption. I figured out how to do it by modifying the background-image.php file inside of wp-admin. Using get_theme_mod and stuff I was able to get it working perfectly.

    So now the problem, if the client upgrades from 3.0.1 to a new version, won’t all my changes become overwritten? How can I move this file into wp-content and have WP use it as an override?

    Thanks!

    Jared
