Custom CSS theme for SilverStripe 3 Admin Interface

Flat Admin for SilverStripe

Custom CSS for the SilverStripe CMS Admin Interface.

This module basic overrides some basic CSS that is found in the SilverStripe framework., _(*1)

Installation:

Composer:

require: "mediabeast/flat-admin": "3.2"

Download:

Clone or download this repo, copy it into your website folder, rename the folder to flat-admin and then run dev/build., _(*2)

Configuration

If you have ModelAdmins with no icons then you'll want to replace the black SilverStripe icon as it's very hard to see with this theme installed. For a quick alternative use one of the icons located in the flat admin theme e.g., _(*3)

private static $menu_icon = 'flat-admin/images/db.png';

Contribution

I'm a developer so I'd be keen for an actual designer to suggest some changes. I only want to change CSS and not the structure of the HTML as I think that will cause issues if SilverStripe update a template at their end and someone has this module installed. So I anyone has any suggestions on colors etc feel free to let me know of do a pull request., _(*4)

TODO:

• In Progress: customise GridField to suit the new colors .e.g. remove texture
• ~~change icons in menu to be white~~
• In Progress: change icons used in buttons, something a bit more moder and no drop shadow will be nice.
• In Progress: remove any textures and dropwshadows in other parts of the interface.
• Responsiveness? Could add some simple media queries to make it usable on modiles/tablets.
