<div dir="ltr">I like the term "themes" more than skins. I will use that from now on. :-)<br><br>I will try to get together 'diffs' list or something to show what changes I have made. My biggest weakness in these changes is with css. I feel this is the best way to maintain consistency on all pages.<br>
<br>I have tested my theme on different types of pages:<br> - Main (ok)<br> - Non-Green ("X events received in the past Y minutes" box has 'dark' colors still)<br> - Critial Systems (ok)<br> - Sub-pages (ok)<br>
- Reports:<br>
--- Eventlog (ok)<br> --- Availability (ok)<br> --- Snapshot (ok)<br> --- Config (ok, but page is hard to read [busy])<br> --- Metrics (ok)<br> --- Ghost clients (menu not working, not sure what is so different about this report)<br>
- All Admin Menu functions (ok)<br>
- All Help menus (no header / menu / footer, bug in hobbit?)<br><br>The most complicated part of the changes I have done is the menu move. Took quite a bit of trial-and-error to get that part to work.<br><br>Robert<br>

With all the discussion about icons, I figured I would open another
can-of-worms (so to speak).<br>
<br>
I don't know if this has been discussed before (I could not find anything in my
searches). As part of getting buyoff from managers we changed the look of
hobbit to be a little less "dark". We only make one change to
the code (to make highlighting of the line work), all other changes were to the
web/www files.<br>
<br>
Major Changes:<br>
- Moved menu down to make room for 'company banner'<br>
- changed colors (background/font/etc)<br>
- Removed background (we were annoyed by the "blink" everytime
the screen refreshed)<br>
- Added status "line" between company banner & menu, also
below the footer.<br>
- Added highlight function: highlights line that mouse is over<br>
- changed icons<br>
- changed footer<br>
<br>
I wanted to see what others thought of our effort. Also, I wanted to see
if others think it would be worth the time to make hobbit 'skins' (never really
cared for that term).<br>
<br>
I am willing to help in any effort.<br>
<br>
See attached. (sanitized version).<br>
