Current theme version: 1.5
What can I say? This theme is now permanently installed on thebombsite and Textgarden even in preference to my own themes. Personally I think it is absolutely gorgeous.
Gile (pogonik) says…
“Txp admin themes are mostly light, white and simple, which is close to Txp’s concept and philosophy however I wanted to created something a little different… to show Txp’s dark side. ;)
Stuart “the Bomber” has fixed my dirty code and taken care of some of the little details.
Hope you’re going to like this one.”
This theme is aimed at users with Txp 4.3.0 and above because by default it removes the “tagbuilder” column on the “Pages” and “Forms” tabs and extends their textareas to occupy the free-space (see the images). This is all done with CSS though so if you haven’t moved up yet you can still use it by “commenting out” the appropriate styling which is conveniently contained in a single block near the bottom of the style sheet.
The default logo displays “TEXTPATTERN” but it is easy to create your own. I already have as you can see. A blank logo image (logo_blank.png) displaying just the Txp logo is supplied for your convenience. The font used is Verdana 16pt bold #e0dfca expanded to 125% width with a little drop shadow applied top left. Once you have created your logo simply rename it to logo.png and upload it to the theme folder overwriting the existing logo.png image.
Mini icons used on the “Write” tab supplied by the wonderful people at Webtreats Etc.
Go on. Treat yourself!

Nice alternative look, it’s got a real modern feel to it.

Delicious. Stellar work. I’ll upgrade smd_admin_themes to fix the inline styles when I get a chance: that hover is brutal! :-(
Would you mind altering the zip package to include the theme’s directory, please? It won’t install directly in smd_admin_themes unless I unpack it and rezip it up with ‘vitraux’ at its top level. Ta.

A minor thing, when accessing this page, it gives the following:
Tag error: <txp:image_list id=“441” form=“pretty_photo_image” /> -> Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist on line 1183
By the way really nice theme :)
