A new admin interface skin
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. :)

Re: A new admin interface skin
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

Re: A new admin interface skin
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?

Re: A new admin interface skin
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.

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

Re: A new admin interface skin
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.. (:

Re: A new admin interface skin
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).

Re: A new admin interface skin
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!

Re: A new admin interface skin
I actually modified the skin to remove the bottom one and fix the position of the top one. Aaaah, the lovely thing called CSS …
