How can I specifiy an alternate layout for NotFound.cshml and ErrorPage.cshtml in Orchard CMS

Question

I know you can use layout filters for normal pages with urls, but upon errors the view changes while keeping the url the same, so I can't utilize a new layout based on the path. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Off the top of my head:

If you look in Core > Shapes > Views, you will see two files - one called ErrorPage.cshtml and one called NotFound.cshtml. Simply copy these files and paste them into your theme's view folder.

I have not tested this method with these particular pages, but I did do something similar with the LogOn widget.

Something to bear in mind is that the contents of these files will be rendered in the Content zone of your current theme.
