A new admin interface skin

Logoleptic · 2007-06-02 04:25:02

Has anyone else seen this? I haven’t found any other discussion of it on the forum.

Looks like a pretty nice piece of work. I can’t vouch for how well it functions, however, since I haven’t installed it myself. Just thought I’d spread the word, since admin overhauls often seem to be a popular topic. :)

Hi,

The admin interface works fine for me on numerous installs.
The restyling I did was applied to a previous admin interface restyling,

found here:
http://emps.l-c-n.com/articles/61/Textpattern-restyled
where you can find out in more detail about what was originally done.

The restyling that I did was tested and worked fine on the following browsers:

Mac: FF, Safari, Opera 9
Win: FF, IE 5.5+, Opera 9

Thanks for the response, Dan. Have you had any clashes between your admin overhaul and admin-side plugins that add features to the back-end interface?

I don’t know of any plugin problems right now.
It doesn’t affect any of the plugins I am using in a bad way.

Oh yes,

There was one that didn’t work.
rss_admin_quikpik.

BTW – original thread about that interface mod.

Oops. Probably should’ve mentioned Dan’s work there instead. PunBB’s search fails me again. :-(

I tried making yet another one when I started learning jQuery.. Sadly haven’t had time refining it, sand colours are quite boring yet safe… maybe I’ll add that to my “when on vacation” list.. (:

beautiful admin skin. maybe this should seriously be adopted as txp main theme? it brings txp’s look more up to date while preserving the style and colours.

an issue i have: is there a way to bring back the dropdown menu usually in the top right portion of the admin?

here is the link in case anyones missed it:

You can easily make the the select positioned one way or the other by adding to the CSS for the admin side which is located in /textpattern/textpattern.css.

Example:

#branding form {
position: fixed;
bottom: 3em;
right: 3em;
z-index: 10;
}

And there you go, moved it to the the bottom right of the page instead where it will stay.

Do note that position:fixed does not work in IE prior to version 7 (at least not on Windows).

actually what i meant was that the dropdown menu was missing altogether from this theme. but upon second glance i completely forgot there was another dropdown menu centered at the bottom so phew. thanks anyway though!

I actually modified the skin to remove the bottom one and fix the position of the top one. Aaaah, the lovely thing called CSS …
