New Official DirectAdmin Skin - Feedback Requested
Hey guys,
All you DirectAdmin users seemed to have been voicing a similar complaint (and luckily, it was only one complaint, and it was purely cosmetic). Well...DirectAdmin listened and hired me to design the new official skin. I've been hinting to some users that it was coming soon, but I couldn't say anything about it, but we're totally ready to go here, and I'm pretty happy to be sharing this with everyone.
I'd like to get everyone's feedback on the new official skin, which can be demo'ed on one of our machines here:
http://froop.serveio.com:2222/
User: demo_admin
Pass: demo
All feedback is desired, if there's something you'd like to see, just let me know and we're going to consider it.
Thanks for your input!

Wow, that looks awesome!
/me wants to switch to DA now...
One suggestion I could make is to make the text on the top buttons a bit bigger. Kinda hard to read at high resolutions...
Otherwise, looks great.·· Repeat after me... ProSupport is the best... Prosupport is... ··

Thanks for the comments so far, I'll go over everything with Mark and John and we'll see what's going to be changed. As far as the small text on the buttons go, that is a bit-font, anything larger than 8pt looks REALLY messed up, and any other font small enough to fit in those buttons will look somewhat distorted.
I can't really say when it's going to released official, that's up to Mark and John, but I hear there's other things being released along with the skin (things may have changed since we last spoke about that though).
Installatron can easily be supported, I think Phil and I are both pushing for some sort of add-in system so 3rd party software is easily integratable.
Thanks for teh comments ! Keep them coming!

Bahhh, The user id and pwd are not working for me. I think it might be related to some weird proxy issues I've been having though. Can't wait to see it.

Although I don't use DA, this theme is nicely done.
Will it be available as part of DA or will it be an extra charge? And is this theme for: SeverAdmin, Reseller, Client - All?
Down the road I have thoughts of using DA and wouldn't mind at all, using this theme.• PotentProducts.com - for all your Hosting needs
• Helping people Host, Create and Maintain their Web Site
• ServerAdmin Services also available

1) Username and passwords work - check that you don't have capslock on.
2) This will be the new default skin.
3) This skin is applied on all levels (check the demo, you can access all sub-levels)
4) Icons were purchased from a very skilled icon designer.

It is very nice skin
How long does this skin load on 56k users? It is important to make sure it is suitable for the 56k users as well.
Maybe you could add an option - "Broadband" and "Dialup", so a user could select which option to select to make skin load faster (with less graphic on "Dialup" option).

I was using a 56k connection when I tried it and it loaded quickly. It is is a a very nice skin indeed.Kevin G.

Everything is always ok over here. Site should be visible to everyone now.
Back on topic, any more comments on the new skin? We want to make sure there is a general consensus before implementing it.

Yes, it will probably come out within the next 1-3 releases, free of charge. The old style (ugly) skin will still be there of course, because there are many novice users out there who would be quite confused by the skin changing.

Nice looking skin!
Only issue for me is the text on the top icon bar: it's too small.
Actually, also I'm not sure I like how the new alternating background colors are set up. I prefer the power_user skin's list and list2 color values.
Overall though, it looks great! Keep up the good work.Phillip Stier
