Pete Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I just use my scroll wheel for scrolling, not clicking, so that will be where I'm going wrong. Still, it's one habit I'll never break I don't think as it doesn't take long either way.
Joss Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Oh, I never intentionally middle click - probably my upbringing. 1
diogo Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I middle click all the time, I'm proud to be a middle clicker! 3
diogo Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I honestly don't agree, and really don't like sites/apps opening new windows/tabs for me (that's what option+click is for). But you aren't the first person to mention it, so I'll try to accommodate both preferences somehow or another. Just saw this https://twitter.com/smashingmag/status/424887979170332672 1
JFn Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If you make custom admin pages (ie. with a custom process), and want the new theme module applied to them, make sure you change the site's index.php "$adminTplDir" variable (~ around line nr. 80) to: $adminTplDir = "modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeDefault"; Great new theme module btw !
Soma Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I make a lot of custom admin pages and don't need to change anything, it automaticly uses admin template.
adrian Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Ryan - just wondering if you are planning on theme-ing the installation routine to match the new default admin theme before 2.4 is released? I think it's important for maintaining a cohesive look for PW. 3
adrian Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Actually, on the topic of the default look. I personally quite look the futura color scheme, and I don't mind the warm (your current default), but I wonder if "modern" should be the default since it most closely matches the color scheme of the PW website. So, while the website looks as it does, I think that "modern" would be my vote for default "color set" and for the installation routine. Anyone else have a preference? 5
Martijn Geerts Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I agree here with Adrian. I really like that ProcessWire, still looks like the ProcessWire I started with. This is a sign of great vision & craftsmanship 3
Manfred62 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 to continue the thoughts of adrian and Martijn: why not drop the (old) theme in /wire/templates-admin/? Is it technically needed? Instead of that make the new AdminThemeDefault preinstalled by default and preselect the most liked color scheme (Modern ?). In the moment it's a little bit confusing for PW newbies. At first they get the old admin after installation, then they have to find out how to get the new AdminThemeDefault. 2
teppo Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 So, while the website looks as it does, I think that "modern" would be my vote for default "color set" and for the installation routine. +1 for "modern" for the reasons Adrian mentioned.. and because the "warm" color scheme gives me this nostalgic feeling I can't quite explain. It feels comfortable (kind of like 80's product design and advertising), but doesn't really match my image of ProcessWire as a present-day top-of-the-line software product
Pete Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I like warm. Feels all... warm Could just be an easy installation choice I think. 2
horst Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Agree with Adrian, Manfred,Teppo, Martijn + really like: Could just be an easy installation choice I think.
Manfred62 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Could just be an easy installation choice I think. That would be nice. Or at least give a info at the end of the installation, where to find the settings for the color scheme. So all PW newbies get the 'ooh.. aah..' feelings very fast... 1
adrian Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I know I am hijacking this, but teppo brought it up first Although, I am not sure that anyone outside Australia got these ads, but they played for a long time when I was growing up! I'd also like to see an option for the color scheme to be chosen during installation! 2
SiNNuT Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hah, that's great, reminds me of some of those 80's cartoon intro's for some reason.
cstevensjr Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Mine also. I was living in England at the time. Good memories
Martijn Geerts Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 We bought it in Germany, together with my uncle. Those computers were way cheaper over the border. LOAD "*",8,1
ryan Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Ok I've got the admin colors selection built into the installer now (with live preview even). Installer also now uses the new theme. I ran out if time before I could get it in GitHub (now at my girls' swim practice), so hope to get it committed to dev later today. 5
ryan Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Following up from the previous message, the update is now committed to dev. I ran a test install, and all appeared to work well (Chrome / OS X). If anyone else gets to test it out in other browsers or platforms, please let me know if you run into any issues. Here's what the color theme selection looks like (screenshot attached) ... basically just a select box that swaps the stylesheet with an onchange event. 5
