If you look into the dashboard.config file in the /config directory (http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/dashboardconfig) you will see that this is where the content shown in different sections comes from, including the content section which is the first one you see. You can either change the content in one of the files shown by default (eg views/dashboard/settings/settingsdashboardintro.html ) or remove those files from the config and add a new one (better).
Changing the styling of backend login page
I want to change the styling and content on the backend login page.
Which files should I change to achieve this?

Thats not what i'm after. It's the login page (where you input your login name and password) i want to change the style and content of.
i see what you mean
the file /umbraco/views/common/dialog/login.html appears to provide the source in an angular.js format
but I've been trying to see if changing this changes anything and it doesn't seem to
i'm not really very clear how this works - or what prompts umbraco to use a change to this file
I don't know enough about angular to understand how this works. Some changes seem to be taken and some do not.
is working on a reply...
