[contrib] New TXP admin theme
Hi folks, not sure which forum this should be in, but I’ve been working on a TXP admin skin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hicksdesign/989595974/
Not perfect, but usable!

Re: [contrib] New TXP admin theme
very nice!
couple of issues for me:
for some reason the site link at the very top returns : “http://www.sitename.com/textpattern.com/www.sitename.com”
i suspect it has something to do with textpattern pulling the [siteurl] without the ‘http://’ because it says its not necessary. shrug
in firefox 2, theres an unnecessary (its visible but doesnt move) horizontal scrollbar at the bottom for me. this is at full screen on 1280 × 1024 res. the scrollbar doesnt appear when using safari though.
again in firefox, odd things happen when i click on a css style in the styles section. it makes the style listing shift to the left upon each click. works fine in safari.
would there be a chance to have the login/logout screens skinned to match as well?
other than that, i’m glad something like this has been made! i know many ppl enjoy the default clean interface, but i’ve been hoping for a remake/style thats more akin to other modern cms’s ala expressionengine.

Yup, I’ll be working on improving this when I get the chance. In the meantime, to solve the empty horizontall scroll bar in Firefox, change this line in the css:
table#edit,
table#list,
input#title,
textarea {
width: 100% !important;
}
and make the value 99.9%.

That’s it. If you add ‘http://’ to the txplib_head.php file at line number 168 like so:
<tr id=“branding”><td><h2> <a href=“http://<? echo $GLOBALS[‘prefs’][‘siteurl’]; ?>”>It solves it

Very nice. I’d love to see the branding in a few different colors but I can’t hack that myself.
Thank you.

Re: [contrib] New TXP admin theme
What I thought about was having a section at the top of the css, where the colours for the theme are clearly commented to show what colour is for what element. Then all you have to do is change the hex colour reference – could that be useful?

Hi Jon. Just been experimenting with this on my “local” install and it looks very good. The new styling seems to be working fine everywhere else but doesn’t seem to want to apply itself to the “plug-ins” tab. I’ve tried “Ctrl-F5” a couple of times without success. Is that just me?

Re: [contrib] New TXP admin theme
I noticed the same thing. If you’re using hpw_admincss to apply Jon’s CSS changes they are not displayed on the plugins page. The reason being that hpw_admincss adds
<style type="text/css">
@import url("css.php?n=admin");
</style>to the <head> of all pages except the plugins page. I assume this is a default behavior of TXP. I haven’t tried it but I imagine that adding Jon’s CSS to textpattern.css would make things work.
Edit: Yep, adding Jon’s CSS to textpattern.css bypasses the problem.

It’s a shame, because it was an easy way to apply the site!
