Used a couple of hours. What do you think?

[Dennis]

Hi,

 

Some days ago I decided to mess around with a custom template for TCAdmin. The template was created in less than 6 hours (started at midnight and went to bed at around 6AM), so it might not be as professional-looking as other templates and it doesn't contain as much custom content (custom images, fx), but I'm pretty happy with the result. What do you think?

 

Login Screen

 

Home Screen

 

ServiceHome Screen

 

I really like the rounded bars for the graphs, and what I like the most is the tabs that I managed to get out of it.

I'm not sure about the colors though - are they alright?

 

By the way - the template is not finished yet, and I don't know whether or not it will remain those colors. It all depends on how our new template for our website is gonna end up looking

I like it. Just a bit dark to mee. If anything make it the theme of your site.

[KissNode]

Great. Hope you make some of the source code public!

[Dennis]

I was bored, and then I remembered this theme and thought I would update it, and then I realized that I forgot to export the theme when we moved our TCAdmin installation to a new server. Daaaaaaaaang

[ServAttitude]

Give a link please

[Dennis]

Link for what?

[ServAttitude]

The link to download the theme.

I would like it.

[Dennis]

There's no way to download it. It was just something I messed with. I accidently deleted it Lol.

[Ynd21]

Hey man,

 

Hope it's ok but I went ahead and recreated your Theme. I liked the nice red you found and just had to make it lol.

 

[eirsik]

Oh, I really like that theme!

[aurum5000]

You guys should put your themes up for sale in our Advertising forums.

 

I am sure there are a lot of people that are just starting out that would like to get a theme that would make them stand out a bit.

 

Just a thought...

[eirsik]

ECF got a point there. If I didn't knew css and php I would def buy a custom theme.

[Dennis]

You can't use PHP to edit the theme. Or can you? Is it even coded in PHP?

[eirsik]

I guess its aspx.

 

But yeah, the theme it self is only css.

[Coolpwner]

Great job! Looks like a sick theme so far =D. Hope you share it with us

[Dennis]

I guess its aspx.

 

But yeah, the theme it self is only css.

 

CSS is the only thing you can import using the button, but you can load JS through the header.

[aurum5000]

lets vote for first theme for free

 

you should really start to sell them Dennis

[ECF]

Themes are CSS only. If you start hacking away at the web code you will break it.

 

However with CSS and the ability to add your own custom icons I have seen many sites that look really nice.

 

Also... remember that you can use and edit the old theme that was V1 that was added to V2 by Luis. Seems some people don't like the overall layout of V2.

It's not the overall layout of v2, it's the overall layout of TCAdmin. The software is really great, and I love how we're able to customize each game server to fit almost every need, but the design is just really not pleasing to the eye. The least ugly thing about TCAdmin's design is the icons, but they are also not that great.

One of the reasons I don't like the handlebars: The corners are low-res images.

The grids are grey and really boring

 

Tabs are also grey and boring, and again - low res images: http://i.imgur.com/ydYrzXJ.png

 

Theming TCAdmin is a really tedious job - A LOT of stuff contains of images (almost everything that has a color that can be changed actually), and you basically have to do background-image: none before being able to get rid of it.

 

I offered to do a redesign of TCAdmin for free here which I'm still willing to do, but only if there's the slightest chance that it's actually getting used. I'm not saying I need access to any of the code, I'm just saying that I'd offer to create a template in HTML, CSS and Javascript, showing what can be done to make the design look better and easier to navigate.

[ECF]

All built for speed my good sir:)

Higher image quality=slower page loading.

[Dennis]

Yeah, but the point is not that it's low res images, the point is that it's images

You could do it all with CSS. You could use variables to define the color for everything

[ECF]

That is something to think about. Just remember that the original design was done almost 3 years ago. HTML, CSS etc... have changed dramatically since then.

 

I think Luis is focused more on features and fixes than the layout ATM.

 

Hopefully in the future it will get a facelift

[Dennis]

Yeah, I know, and he should be more focused on adding features and fixing bugs. After all, v2 is still a beta.

That's why I offered to help with the design. Soon I'll hopefully have a lot of spare time

[ECF]

Luis holds that code tighter than a frogs ass
