Default Theme Redesigned And available For testing (Page 2 of 2)

@apmuthu, I think this one is less cluttered... have a look at puroV1

@apmuthu; The screen shots are kvvaradha's theme; are you looking at the right one?

@poncho1234: Yes, it is @kvvaradha's theme from the link he provided. If your PuroV1 is elsewhere, please provide the link.

@kvvaradha: I tested out on 1440x900 and had to scroll.

@poncho1234's PurV1 theme: Whilst the font sizes are okay and the menus have no clutter, it may cause issues during remote desktop refreshes.

Unlike @kvvaradha's theme, @poncho1234's theme is not yet available for download and local testing.

@apmuthu, not the default theme then, possible replacement for core 'dropdown' theme.

The flatcolor2 theme - Navigate to Sales => Transactions and we cannot click Sales Quotation Entry menu item.

@boxygen
The themes flatcolor, flatcolor2 will be available in a while at the repo. You can continue to test them and default2 at

@apmuthu
The testing user is only having Inquiries allowance. That is the reason that the Sales Quotes are unavailable.

So this is different – two versions: (One with horizontal quicklinks and the other with vertical quicklinks) Both still in development.

Both themes feature:-

• Quicklinks are user defined; click on the ‘six dots’ icon(or double kebab, double menu, menu menu…) Select the user mode you want to change and select/deselect the applications you want in this user mode, save. (Page refresh if you want to see the changes made.)

• User modes are user defined; hover over the ‘people’ icon and you will see a list of user defined user modes, select the one you want and you will see the quicklinks change instantly.

• Other applications are presented by module type: Not by main application(Sales, Purchasing, etc.)
  •    So the ‘plus’ icon lists all the other 0 Transactions apps not listed in current usermode quicklinks.
  •    The ‘page’ icon lists all the other 1 Inquiries & Reports apps not listed in current usermode quicklinks.
  •    The ‘spanner’ icon lists all the other 2 +3 Maintenance apps not listed in current usermode quicklinks.
  •    The ‘kebab’ icon lists setup apps in traditional format.
  

Note: Access roles still apply! I’ve also predefined some usermodes.

Why? Most current themes give the same prominence to all apps, So ‘Direct Invoice’ has the same ‘status’ as say ‘Sales Groups’; the first one you may use ten times a day the other you may use once a year or if at all.
So you need to define the apps you use regularly; whilst still having access to all the other apps in the background for as and when required – which is what I have tried to achieve.

Uses:

• I remember that when I first used FA I was little ‘intimidated’ by the sheer number of options available – 133 apps - which one? So may help new users.

• A small business owner wears many hats, mostly it’s their ‘Sales’ hat, but sometimes they need to wear their ‘Purchasing’ or ‘Accounts’ hats.

• Any user who wants to improve and speed up their workflow.

Notes:

1. As mentioned still very much in development – advice, reviews, comments, etc, very welcome.

2. Hot keys do not work

3. I would like to change the vertical theme quicklinks to icons with hover over tooltips –ongoing.

4. As currently written, this theme would require an extension as well as the actual theme – how the Dashboard was in FA V2.3

5. Currently using the DB, writing to a file would probably be a better way.

Hi apmuthu,
Thank you for the feed back:-

In chrome & firefox top menu item - Allocate Supplier Payments or Credit Notes shows ok, screenshot below - what browser are you using please?

In vertical the menu - position: fixed; the idea was that menu would stay in same spot for longer pages. I can make it position: absolute; so user can scroll.
Its really going to depend on user screen size - so have to accommodate all users so will make the change.
In the future these will be icons, smaller so more of them, but will still depend on number selected and user screen size - maybe allow for two - three columns of icons?

That's strange? Can you post a screenshot? And I'll try to make the necessary changes, will not be able to test though.

Edit I have increased height & width of the button: @apmuthu I have no access to XP, can you please check, post screenshot if not ok.
