dark theme first look

[marjohn56]

Well I like it. :)

[weust]

Looks good. But all those white separation lines could be a bit more grey-ish, perhaps?
To make the white stand out less more.

It's pretty dark... hehe

Thanks for doing this! A plugin for this was requested a couple of times already. <3


Cheers,

@marjohn56 looks good but I would suggest to use a lighter green in the status column for a better contrast.

[marjohn56]

It's getting there, I have toned down the white and changed the bar backgrounds from white to darker grey.

Yes, the status greens do need to be changed. I'll do that later tonight and post a new snapshot.

I'm really liking what I see! Keep it up!

[elektroinside]

Very nice, hope to see this on my box soon :)

[marjohn56]

Just to keep you updated....  Toned down the whites and have ALMOST finished the d3 stuff, just a couple of items I'm struggling to find...

[weust]

Good improvement.

[marjohn56]

OK, I think it's done. However there is an issue.

There's a couple of changes I had to make that are not actually in the themes folder, this may be an oversight when the GUI was created and the colours are hard coded into other files. As a result of this I cannot just post the theme.

What I suggest until that is resolved, if anyone wants to try it is that I zip up what's needed and post it here. I'll include instructions as to what needs to be replaced. But first, I need to check that this will not break something between different versions of Opnsense.

Watch this space later today.

There is no problem with having a -devel plugin for others to try anyway and we mop up the rest in 18.1.x and then release the plugin finally?

[marjohn56]

OK, where are the instructions for creating a plugin? :)

The offending items are

gateways.widget.php
status_gateways.php
jquery.tokenize.css

[marjohn56]

OK found it, I'll see if I can create something. :)

Best users backup those three files first though.

[franco]

Please don't overwrite these files from the plugin, it won't work ;)

Looks like low priority items to fix the theme. There will likely be more in the static pages. Having the theme wrapped as a plugin will make it easier to flush those as anyone can confirm what you're seeing.

[marjohn56]

OK, I'll blame you.  :P

Might take a while, I thought my PC was fast but it's taking quite a while to compile all the tools!
