Bootstrap theme WIP

Post by jSON »

Hey all, relatively new here. Installed latest ispy today. Fixed my webcam issues :) thankfully. I'm a freelance web dev and I just wanted to get a general feel for what everyone would like more. Can't post a link but Google is your friend.
I personally prefer flat, but skeuomorph has more of an organic feel which is always pleasing to look at. I have a bit of a concept in flat design if anyone is interested in a quick look. Cheers! Hope to get some good feedback!

There is a plug in system for themes.

Developers always welcome.

Changing the default theme is always a challenge.

I'm not sure what your thinking is?

Here's what I have so far. https://youtu.be/RMUNtjyksPk
Similar to current Luci but keeps the same structure of Gargoyle. I may give the background the same blueish purple as on this site. I think it's a nice contrast and I will have dark mode as well. On the fence about search, but there's bound to be someone who would rather use it.

The concept is nice. Couple of notes.

- this is clearly a lot more than just a re-skin (CSS). You know that the elements you have to work with are not really changeable (otherwise they interfere with other themes and the operation of some pages that rely on DOM traversal)? I note that the insertion of graphs is an example of this. Be quite careful that the page still operates.
- we can insert additional elements, but only if they are handled correctly by all other themes. Also remember that every additional character eats space on the flash.
- you are working with embedded systems where flash space is limited. Making jquery mandatory would be quite a large library. I know that the device you seem to be testing on would not really have this limit, but plenty do.

Thanks! I will definitely keep the size in mind now that you say that. That single page was already closing in on 2mb! I'll grab source from git tonight and see what I can do with just css :)
