What do you think of the X3 CPanel skin?
http://cpx3demo.com:2082/login/?user=x3democ&pass=x3democ

This is going to be the latest default cpanel skin once CPanel 11 becomes stable. Share your feedback and suggestions on the new skin, what do you like or dislike?

I think its a improvement to x2 :D looks pretty cool although the green small circle icons on the left menu look a bit jagged.

Those are not circles, it's the infinity symbol :)

I think it looks pretty organized and clean. The current skin to me is functional but quite dated. definately a fresh new look

the inifiniti icons do look pretty jagged and could use a bit of love

I think cPanel should start over, because that's just looking nasty.

I'll stick with my Plesk skins.

It's better then their old x2 skin.

(But we use rvskin, so it doesn't matter.)

yeah that it is, it is better then the x2

I was actually starting to like it until i had a proper look and clicked on MySQL Databases:

Talk about making things harder, what was wrong with the single page for MySQL?

Not sure if any other pages have been changed like that.

[edit] finally, the 200 post mark :D

And RvSkin is a better design?

yes i think rvskin is better but this one is better than cpanel 10 i think

I think it's better myself, especially for lots of databases.

Rvskin in my opinion looks like early 90' graphics. the icons are pretty ugly. I think Rvskin could easily amp up their skin in little time and quickly become a great looking skin that reflects on more professional appearance instead of something that tends to appear at first glance - outdated.

Pretty nice skin, it definately has some great features..... I'm not quite sure I dig the leaves header graphic, but I'm sure that can be changed... Other than that, it has some great functional value.... I love how you can collapse the sections, since 75% of the functions in cPanel I don't use on a regular basis, so now I can simply hide them. Also, the menus are draggable.... That is a great idea! You can put the sections that you use more often towards the top....

Definitely has some great potential :)

LOL - the leaves is something somone just added. They must of changed the theme or something. HA! It is ugly looking with the leaves.

They really need to stop trying to use the infinity sign, as it makes the skin look even worse than it is.

I can't believe they're actually paying people to do this...

Let's hope it looks better before it is released publicly.

It is surely clean.

But compared to other CP skins ... well ... basic eh :D

Hopefully, the slowness of page loading is due to their Server and not the theme.

What I like is the look is a tad better than the current 'X' theme and top marks for providing the ability to move Catagory Tables around and drop-menu setup for Stats.

On the 'bad' side, they still haven't figured out how to stop double listing of Installed Perl Modules.

It's definitely an improvement to the X skin and looking forward to using it but over the years the "X" theme has become so standard any new default skin is going to be an adjustment.

From the looks of X3 - I dont think you will have to adjust too much. it basically the same with some nice added collapse and new icons.

Personally, I've seen all the work put into this and I think it's a great improvement. Not so cool with the infinity sign..but other than that, it's definitely looking good..good things to come.

Why doesn't that demo link work anymore?

Why doesn't that demo link work anymore?Perhaps they can't handle the constructive criticism.

Works fine for me.

Works fine for me.They password protected the directory for a moment, it's all fine now.

It's ok, but not groundbreaking. The process of having an MySQL database seems to have gotten a bit complicated though

i know this is an old topic, but this is pathetic is if this is supposed to be the "next generation" theme for cpanel

Glad you've done your research. It's not.

I don't like it. It has that Kindergarden-ish 'oooh we're having fun!' WindowsXP theme look to it.

Haha i agree with Tina, its not serious and professional at all..

It doesn't impress me, but I don't hate it either.

It's an improvement on x/x2 that's all. RVskin is still a lot better though. :)

Hmm, sometimes I wish cPanel would let me redesign their next Control Panel skin. Hehe.

Just another subpar cPanel theme. Instead of the icons all being in one table, their separated by useless images and even more tables.

It's all arranged into tables which can be moved/removed. That's the idea behind it from what I can tell. I quite like the images, but might be worth offering an option to disable said images although I suspect that would make it worst. :)

The skin is great.

If they could integrate the Relay file manager, or at least make it easier to integrate 3rd-party apps, they would have a killer combination.

We would also love to integrate our stream control panel, but alas, the cPanel documentation and module system leaves _much_ to be desired.

It's better than x2, but i think they are starting to slowly copy plesks layout

its fn horrible, might as well have snow falling in the background. Thats how tacky and outdated the design is.

It's pretty bad. I dunno why they can't get a decent design.
