Switch off the trendy

Webmin

Is that before or after? Doesn’t look much different to me.

It is not changed to “how it was before”, but a good edit to the new style.
Compared to the current new one, they are a bit sharper looking and a bit more intense on the fond and border line around the button (seen from the point of the intensity of the colors).
Not a “drastic” or extrem change, but a decent one.
I think thats better than the current one.

is there an easy way to download an old version of webmin/virtualmin?

are these button changes in webmin or virtualmin package?

I don’t like these buttons and I want to revert the CSS.

thanks

with this code

.btn-danger {
    color: #161010d6 !important;
    border-color: red!important;
    background-color: red !important;
    
}

not too difficult to do

@jimr1 I read your comment earlier and yes this would work, but I was hoping to download and old version, extract the CSS and then paste it into my themes CSS in one go. :smiley:

If I need to I will use you method as it will definitely work.

the css is minified so will have to decompress it first, but I have a vm with webmin on that uses an older version so I may have the minified css file for you to play with, but don’t just replace the css file as in the next theme update that would be overwritten. I’ll look a bit later

if you can sort that, it would be appreciated. I can decompress CSS easily. And yes, I will not just repalce the whole CSS :smiley:

I wouldn’t recommend on downgrading the system for “just” that. For a new installation, maybe … a bit “extreme” for my liking just to change the buttons but doable.

I would recommend what @jimr1 mentioned.
@Ilia did already to the changes so its just a matter of “time” for the edited colors.

I have been restoring the working 26.22 theme.tar.gz

cd /usr/libexec/webmin
mv authentic-theme authentic-theme.bak
tar xzf /root/authentic-theme-26.22.tar.gz
systemctl restart webmin

Can do it again easily if the next update is still as weak as the preview above.

Quick Quizz:
Did you get into Webmin/Virtualmin because it looked arty or because of awesome functionality?

I don’t intend to downgrade webmin, but download the files and extract the CSS. @jimr1 is going to have a look later on for the relevant CSS file for me.

the theme also has logic/system code in it, it is not a pure theme.

Functionality of course, but the biggest filing of this platform has always been the GUI. Since I have been onboard (as a client), there has been massive improvements, but there are still lots of bugs that need fixing but it is definitely a lot better. FYI so it does not sound like hate, the staff are always fixing stuff and listening to my concerns. Just do proper bug/feature reports.

I have mentioned this before (staff please don’t hate) that the system code should be completely removed from the theme which would then allow people to design their own themes. Then people could say, why don’t you make your own theme, and then I probably would, or at least have a go :smiley:
