styling own admin interface

i’m currently making a new stylesheet for my admin interface. there are things i’m uncertain about. at first i thought the primary and secondary tabs have the same color but i figured the secondary tabs are lighter than the primary tabs. so i’m assuming the primary and secondary tabs should look slighty different. of course, never forget the active tabs that should stand out.

can anybody give me the classes for the primary, secondary, and active tabs? it’ll be the same look as the default but with several changes based off this palette:

just so you get an idea of what colors my admin interface is going to incorporate with.

Re: styling own admin interface

Thou shalt use the source :).

  • td.tabup – current/active tab
  • td.tabdown – inactive tab
  • #nav-primary td – top row
  • #nav-secondary td – bottom row

Re: styling own admin interface

there’s a class for inactive tabs? why is it available if there’s the primary and secondary anyway??

o.O i gotta re-read the stylesheet and fully understand what each functions for.

Re: styling own admin interface

Don’t bother reading the stylesheet – it doesn’t make much sense (i.e., not-ok). Firebug + descendant selectors will be a lot simpler.

Re: styling own admin interface

Firebug? You mean that extension used for the browser? It would be nifty to point at a spot in a webpage and it can pick up a class or something.

EDIT: AH! I just downloaded the extension. It’s fkn awesome! Thanks for the tip :D

…not-ok…

Files that cannot be found (admin files listing check); they show up as red.

Re: styling own admin interface

Is there a way to customize the browse button such as one under the image tab?

Oh I know, but I just think .error would’ve been simpler (dash is so far away).

Re: styling own admin interface

What do you guys think? Not much difference there. Just the branding, logo, color of tabs and buttons, removal of dropdown menus, etc. Not fully completed, just a look at the progress.

ps. why won’t the image appear? o.O

Why need a larger image? :P I can see there fine…

I could post another when it is fully completed. But for now, what do you think of it so far?

The image you posted in 500×400 – at that size I can tell there are some color changes and a few other differences – but if you’d like any real feedback how about a screenshot that’s actual size? :)
