Ran into the same thing last week. The video tutorial is clearer on this part. Basically what you need to do is use the umbraco master page for the admin.
Thanks a lot. It works! But just another little thing: Now the title and the place for the controls is empty (where normally the text "Welcome Administrator" and the buttons for save, publish, etc. are). Where can I add this infos?
The "Welcome Administrator" bar is set by the Text property of the UmbracoPanel. Looks like the default for the root node is Welcome [user name]. hasMenu=true should get you the menu bar where the save and publish buttons go, but I don't know how to add buttons to the menu. Didn't need those for mine.
Styling the Custom section in Umbraco-Style
Hi all
I realized a custom section in Umbraco with this tutorial:
http://www.geckonewmedia.com/blog/2009/8/3/how-to-create-a-custom-section-in-umbraco-4
Now the problem is, that I have no scrollbar in my custom page!
Also I want to have the same 1px-border in grey which every other page in the backend has.
Which template or css-file includes this definitions? Please tell me, if you need a picture of my project.
Thanks in advance

It has head and body content sections you can put everything into.
If you also add a reference to umbraco controls, you can make use of the panels, tabs etc.
You'll need a reference to controls.dll. (That also has the added benefit of letting Visual Studio recognize umbraco:item and umbraco:macro).

Panel1.text will set the tet message and right below the Panel you can add a menu button
<umbraco:MenuImageButton ID="btn" ImageURL="/umbraco/images/editor/save.gif" runat="server" />
Hope this helps you,

It works now fine.
