Weekly update – 2 May 2025

[ryan]

This week I’m going to briefly tell you about what we’ll have for you next week. If all goes according to plan, the new admin theme will be committed to the dev branch by this time next week. Technically it’s not a new admin theme in the module sense, but rather a new look for the AdminThemeUikit theme. (The original look will be there too, should you want to keep using it.) There are a lot of cool things about the new look, but here’s a few things to whet your appetite:

1. It comes with a “dark” mode, and a really fantastic dark mode at that. Every user can choose whether they want a light or dark version of the theme, or they can switch on-the-fly from any page. Both the light and dark versions of the theme are equally beautiful and refreshing. 

2. The configuration screen lets you choose what your “main” color is for the theme, whether using predefined traditional PW colors, or a color picker where you can choose your own.

3. This theme also customizes the look of TinyMCE, so that it fits right in with the rest of the interface.

4. If you want to change more about the appearance of theme than what’s on the module config screen, you can do so with a custom CSS file. And there are more than 30 CSS variables that are easy to understand and customize.

More next week, so stay tuned!

On a scale of 1-10, this is an 11.

Finally an adjustable theme and dark mode. Can't wait much longer.

So awesome. I’ve been away from PW for nearly a year and I come back to this good news. Question: Can we replace the PW logo with our client’s and keep this throughout updates to PW?

It’s already possible in the UIkit Admin Theme

Just Go to Modules -> Core

Category Admin
UIKit -> Settings -> Masthead + Navigation -> Logo File

There seems to be problem with setting text formatters in ProFields combo. The asmSelect does not appear any more and the textformatter does neither appear nor work. Switching back to the old theme helped.

EDIT: Seems that he problem occurs ONLY in the PAID ProField combo, the rest works.

Found out that it works with free fieldtypes
