ZakRhyno Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Will the "cotton candy" theme of the ACP change? It well...ugly as heck. I always hated it and was just thinking of the Suite 4 and was just asking to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob van Leeuwen Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Replace the pink with some more blue, and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossFire-Radio Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Is there a way to just edit the colors ourselves? If not.. How about the ability to change to a color we want, or the ability to use the boards theme to use on the ACP as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin A. Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 admin/skin_cp/acp.css Have fun. Don't see what the big deal is though, it's a control panel. You enter to do adminy things, and go back to your community. But then I actually like the colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPhilip Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The current color scheme gives me a good reason to stay out of the ACP as much as possible :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceOfAbyss Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Personally, I adore the ACP's color scheme. But I also used to like the ACP during the 3.0.x age... Funny thing is that 6 months ago I had to install a temp 3.0.x board to upgrade a DB from a board using that version... So I got into its ACP, and thought: WTF... This is ugly... So, one thing is for sure: IPS prettifies their ACP version by version! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkerrood Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 To be honest when I first purchased IPB (when it was even 2.x), I preferred IPB over VB and phpBB because of its great looking ACP... really!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcher Technologies Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The color scheme doesn't bother me at all, the usability aspect of it is more important. So says the factual individual that planted that 'pink' all over the ACP. :tongue: The alternate green used in 3.1.4 was vastly preferable, but is moot as I just swap out acp.css with hook when possible generally.

Marcher Technologies Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 You guys are afraid of pink? Be a man and grow up, this isn't kindergarden. No, I just prefer to be able to use the ACP versus such sharp color contrast..... Pink, red, neon orange, neon green(all *horrid* choices when paired with the ACP baby blue) which alternate color is used is moot beyond not being annoying, the high contrast of colors for... like... no reason is why we moan/hook/skin it out wherever possible.

I don't find it too sharp at all. If it's hurting your eyes that bad, just edit: images/app_tab_right.png and images/app_tab_left.png. And you are the first person who as actually provided a reason in this topic, everyone else is just 'ugly' 'change it, change it'. That said, I don't usualy spend much time looking at the tabs... maybe .5 of second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcher Technologies Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Love how the entirety of my post was ignored. I change it, when allowed, without editing any files. We speak of the stock, we speak of every acp one logs in to to work on/with where one is immediately greeted with the cotton candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I thought you said you're not a designer. This does not take a designer to shudder at. It may take a designer to think it looks good, but meh, what do I know. Riddle me this: If massive amounts of pink with baby blue is unacceptable generally in the stock front-end(pink is used sparingly) and one rarely(if ever)sees a website that actually does use such a color scheme(IPS frontpage does not count, and even then, sparingly, not at all like the ACP), why is it OK in the ACP? I never had issue with the color, is pink, no big, I argue it is vastly overpowering with the menus stock using it, it turns from an alternate color barely noticed to a blaring sign at the top of the ACP. I still think someone misread the general color scheme when coding it(the menu css), Pink is the alternate color, not the primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
