Re: [simple-groupware] User Interface

[Thomas Bley]

Hello,

if your clients have problems with the UI, you can write a better user
manual or offer training courses.

Hello,

the "pretty cool" UI from extJS takes 15s to load, changing colors in
a 300 KB CSS is a nightmare.
Loading or adapting the 1.23 MB JavaScript code is nothing users or
developers want to have.

It is hard to find someone that is willing to take on the challenge due to the complexity of the system...

Is there anyone else out there that's using a different design interface?

[Faruq Hasan]

try the themes at the top, i like the tree icons theme and simple water.. take it from there

Dear All,

Am attaching herewith a CSS file that I paid someone to make for us. 

I will only be posting this for a month on here then deleting this thread so that people that use this forum regularly may benefit from it.

I release these changes under the same GPL that simplegroupware is under and have no problems with it being included in future SGS releases without my contrib referenced.

I just wanted the page to look a bit more like 2013 and not so much 2003.

Thanks Barry for the push,

Attached are some screenshots. Just replace (after backing up the core.css) the core.css in sgs/bin/templates with the attached core.css . that's it.

Checked under 0.745, should work on most 0.7xx versions.

Happy hunting,

Enjoy!

Faruq

Looking much better...Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

A nice example of how the user interface can be altered by changing the css. Many thanks for sharing this.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks!!

Hi Faruq,

testing the new CSS file I found on my smartphone is not very readable, as it is well suited to the size of the small screen.

for information only.

I noticed that it looks very different on the mobile phones as well, looks okay on tablets. I am looking for the bit of code that controls the width for ismobile (or some method like that)

Regards,
