[Template Manager] MODxGreen

This deserves to be the new default. Outstanding job.

Probably would have to agree here....

However, you should look at a copy of what I was working on a little while back. What you’ve done is fairly close to what I did (interesting enough!). I’ll just post it and you can see the difference. My color scheme is a bit different and I changed the icons as well. We might be able to sort of merge the two ideas together into something that has a bit more spit and polish to it.

To add to the party, I took Banzi’s skin and made of few tweaks of my own. Here is a screencap:



If anyone wants, I can put the files up as well.

@Banzai: nice work, I’ve already adopted the new theme on my manager

@Mark: Yes, please

For beginners like me, a few points:

1. Don’t delete the existing Manager folder. These are additional files uploaded into the current Manager folder.

2. Open the Manager and select Administrator.

3. Select Miscellaneous Settings.

4. Choose ModX Green from the Manager Theme option.

5. Save.

@Jeff -- post up your stuff in this thread, please, and let’s get to consolidating indeed.

@Mark -- ditto.

Thanks for the tip Russ, too.

Nice, it seems that we are having a total rebranding for MODx. This is so cool!

Here’s the manager layout I’ve been playing with. Pretty similar to this one...but a little bit different color scheme and new icons for just about everything.

I like the new Icons in Jeff’s version. Are there any licensing issues with redistributing them?

I’ve been using icons from the Tango Project in some of my recent work and I love them (http://tango-project.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery). They have SVG versions of every icon so they’re easy to disect or combine.

Wow! This is completely uncanny, three manager themes all almost the same apart from some subtle differences.

I love all three themes, I think they’re all fine examples - I can’t wait to see the combined theme

FWIW, I like the icons and datagrid layout in Bravado’s, the gradiented layout and tabs from Mark’s and the top navigation from Banzai’s. But that’s just my opinion ... I’m sure other people will have their own.

Cheers, Garry

ps. my fave colour is green so good choice of colour, peeps

I’ve looked at the Tango icons and tried to incorporate them. However, they are somewhat limited and I had a hard time finding a proper icon replacement for many of the icons in MODx. The one’s I used are from IconExperience and according to their license agreement (http://www.iconexperience.com/license.php), we should be able to use them as long as we don’t sublicense them or resell them. Since MODx is open-source and the icons would be used strictly for iconical representations of the different parts of MODx, I don’t see how we would be breaking any sort of license agreement from them.
