Hvala, Nikola!

This has been my favourite admin theme for a while and I've done some very minor tweaking to suit my own preferences.

• Increased the width of the main nav items by 20px.
• Reduced the heavy search box.
• Made the animations much faster -- so menus pop open almost instantly and the scrolling panel on the right is now almost sticky.
• Added the 'back to top' link to the scrolling panel (helpful in long pages.)

If anyone is interested in trying this out, you can find the 'futura-delta' theme on github.

This is a beautiful theme. Great update and nice to see it again.

Only issue I'm running into is that if there are more than 4 top nav items, the 5th wraps to a second line where it gets cut off. Not sure if the issue is with the original Futura or the update. But it's a fairly minor thing as I think most probably don't have as many admin menu items as I do.

Thanks to Adamkiss, futura-delta now has a few more tweaks.

Steve, nice theme, thank you for sharing. I'm seeing the Access nav wrapped under Pages. I tried a few things to fix it but failed and gave up — what a hero I am eh? If I do happen to fix it before you post I'll say so (ever the optimist me).

Steve, not the fix, but I edited the outer UL that comes after #nav to:

<ul style="width: 110%;">

and all works correctly. Still poking about.

Update: forget the above, this fixes it and is less hack-y, and of course one could look deeper to see what's making this necessary in case there's a neater fix:

<div id="nav" class="nav" style="width: auto;">

Update II: looks like editing /site/templates-admin/styles/main.css and removing the width rule fixes this.

#nav {
position: absolute;
top: 26px;
left: 220px;
/* width: 340px; */
font-size: 12px;
}

I am using the ManageFiles module which add a new item to the #nav, so perhaps that's why I am seeing this.

That is probably a full fix, I hope it's been helpful, it's certainly been nice to add something here on the forums instead of just being a whiney-question-asker all the time (but I'll return to that v.soon I am sure ) Cheers, -Alan

Steve, just also noticed a horizontal scroll. I don't think I've hurt anything in doing the following... It looks as if the fix for the nav is the following two rule removals, the second addresses the horizontal scroll:

#nav {
position: absolute;
top: 26px;
left: 220px;
/*  width: 340px; */
font-size: 12px;
}
.nav {
font-size: 12px;
/*  width: 100%; */
z-index: 100;
}

Cheers, -Alan

Alan,

thank you.

For the record, this is (99%+) Nikola's theme.

[alanfluff]

Welcome, and thanks to Nikola also.

Just found panels don't stack horizontally, e.g. set two Fields to input with 50% and they no longer sit side by side in the editor. Tried as low as 40% and 40% but still not happening. I'll see if I can see why when I get a chance.

Alan (and others),

In a few days time, I'll post updated theme, based on Futura Remixed Theme which has rewritten almost everything in the code and is compatible with PW 2.2+ so it will be more consistent. It also supports multi language capabilities.

[alanfluff]

Thanks Nikola!

[netcarver]

Looking forward to the update Nikola.

PS. How is it in Zagreb? It's been a while since I visited.

@netcarver

It's rainy for past two-three weeks, accept that it's nice. When have you visited Zagreb?

@others
Sorry for off-topic...

I passed through Zagreb in 1999 & in 2000 on my way to the Vukovar & Orahovica areas of Croatia. I did some relief work out there. Despite the look in the photos, I really enjoyed my time there and met a lot of nice people.
