New theme [FLight]

[fifonik]

While I'm trying to find a way to put gui_overhaul on my test router I've created a new FLight theme.
It is based on Light theme but heavily modified internally, uses slightly different layout (header above the left menu so a bit move vertical space available for content) and uses form elements styles similar to bootstrap css.
It is for modern browsers only (should work in modern Firefox/Chrome and IE11. I've checked it in chromium based Vivaldi, Firefox 50.02, Firefox based Palemoon 27 and IE11).

Here are a few screenshots:

Would you like I make the theme available for others? (may be you do not care about old gus as you are forking on gui_overhaul atm)

If you'd like I publish the theme, could you advice what is the "right way" to make the theme available? Should I upload zip archive somewhere? Should I create a new project on github? Should I make PR on github for gargoyle project?

Thanks.

P.S.

If you'd like to port the theme onto the new GUI layout then by all means I'd love to pull it into the code repository.
However, I don't see a large benefit in creating new themes under the old layout at this time.

I understant that support of old code is kind of wasting of time.

I will definitely port it to the new gui, however at this stage I just cannot add the new gui to my router (I could not find information how to do this).

So for now I just uploaded the zip archive with the theme to dropbox.

P.S. I modified your gargoyle image in my theme. Let me know if I should not do that.

The quickest way is to rebuild the firmware with the new GUI code

Thanks.
Unfortunately, building it is a bit too hard for me so I have the only choice to wait when it will be released.

However, I've checked the sources of your new gui_overhaul branch and found that you started to use bootstrap styles in it. This is exactly what I tried to achieve in my theme (as a web developer I'm using use bootstrap styles on everyday basis and I like it).
So most probably my theme will not be needed at all.

Finally, I was able to build gui_overhaul, installed it onto my test WRT610 router and played with the new UI.

I think, at this stage the new UI is not ready for release yet (too many glitches and unpolished things imho).
I'd like to modify my theme for the new UI, however I do not know where to start as there is no 'Themes' page there. Old themes available on 'Plugins' page but when installed the 'Themes' page is not appeared.

My another concern: as I see quite a few unpolished things looks like the new UI's html can be modified quite a lot in the nearest future so it will be a bit tricky to build theme in such situation.

P.S. As I installed 1.9.x on my new Archer C7 and started to use it I fixed a few things in my theme and updated zip-archive on dropbox (the link in my first post).

Hi there mate

Just encase you don't get an answer off the guys. I just wanted to let you know some work is being dun now on updating the forum to stop all the spam, but i am sure that work on the gui update will resume shortly.

Thanks for playing around with the code. Have you tried making a PR on github?

What version of the code did you base your build off?
I did the final major change yesterday.

I'd be happy to take a list of any bugs/concerns you might find.

All themes haven't been converted yet. The criteria for a theme to show up in the menu is it must have a theme.css file.
If you manually navigate to http://192.168.1.1/themes.sh you can still see themes that aren't compatible but installed.

1.9.X (Built 20161229-0007 git@99389a9)

I'll let you know on when I found anything major.

Silly me. I could try it myself.
Thanks. I'll start to migrate the theme to the new UI.

Is there a "quick way" to give the new GUI a try ?

I mess a lot with WinSCP in my router, so i'm pretty comfortable with the files/system structure. I'd rather manually try the new gui, by moving/replacing all the necessary files, than flash the whole thing and lose all my settings. Is that possible ?

I'm following the lastest GUI changes on GitHub, so i could easily download the latest *.sh pages/files, and test them on my router.

Although, since "gargoyle_header_footer.c" was also heavily modified and needs to be compiled, i think it's the only necessary/remaining file that is keeping me from get it working. I have no idea on how to make a build and my laptop is pretty slow.

My question is, is that file compiled according to the router model, or can i get it from you guys, for example ?

I'm more than willing to help with the new GUI (bug reports & suggestions), since i'm also working on a theme that i would like to eventually convert to Bootstrap.

Here are some random screenshots:






Hope you guys can help me,

Thank you.
