Switch off the trendy

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version EL10
Webmin version 2.630

Can we please have a way to switch off the trendy new ugly display?
All the buttons look washed out with cutesy line borders. It’s a Yuk from me.

Time would be best spent on fixing bugs.

Very informative post, i. e., low effort… What display you’re referring to? What buttons? What bugs?

No idea what you mean, webmin trendy, thats new.

Webmin version 2.630-1

I get this.
Its webmin only issue then by that version.
I like my version. is there a hover effect?

That is what it’s supposed to look like before it got diseased.
Using Firefox, up to date. The servers that don’t have the new update still look like yours.
I have stopped updating for now.

Might be the “airy button style”

I am still on Webmin 2.621 and the update is not available for me yet so I cannot try this out, but those low contrast buttons will probably hurt my head.

I managed to restore previous theme - 26.22 from an unaffected server.
Also removed the webmin repo for now.

This is probably intended as an improvement. Only problem is that I can’t find a way to switch it off. :confused:

You could just add your own css for the button class in the theme css file, tbf I use the dark theme and have buttons like that for ages so I have got used to them. Use the browser dev tools to identify which classes you need to target

This is expected. It’s a feature, not a bug. I made the buttons bleached in the light palette because they drew too much attention and didn’t match the dark palette.

Example:


It was done somewhat wrong before, but it’s better now, we believe.

Do you really want us to add a toggle to the past for every minor change we make? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

Alright, let’s give it a week. If you still don’t like it, let us know and we’ll discuss it further. :slight_smile:

As mentioned above, I have already reverted and removed the webmin repo.
Might be nice for those that use Dark, stiff for the rest of us.

Is it a Accessibility issue or something as I have no issue with new look, and I differently wouldn’t change version due something I as one person don’t like and force Ilia to change.
Its not a big issue to me.

Does it pass the accessiblty checks?

I wouldn’t do that just do this

the above example will change the washed out red button to solid red, as the webmin theme uses bootstrap the button classes are easy to find out but here’s a list,

  • btn-primary
  • btn-secondary
  • btn-success
  • btn-danger
  • btn-warning
  • btn-info
  • btn-light
  • btn-dark
  • btn-link

I would doubt that the authentic theme uses all buttons so you may have to play around with each class but once you have custom coloured buttons this will remain through updates as they are css overrides. Maybe @Ilia will chime in with the btn classes that are actually used

Agree, that’s not a good idea.

For me there is no need to spend more time on this. It’s not difficult to make an overlay theme with my preferences, there is a good description for that in the webmin documentation under Development/Creating Overlay Themes.

I just had a play, and I keep getting a error, so I had to ssh on to remove the overlay from the miniserv.conf file. I overlayed on the authentic-theme
Have you tested?

Yes, the AAA score is 7, while our average is 15. That’s more than fine.
