Please let me know what you think. Just an attempt at another look for my test site. When I get happy with it, I plan on doing something similar for another site.

Thanks in advance.

I have the hack available for download on my sitehttp://xoops.mattregister.com in the downloads section. Hope it helps.

I have no idea if anyone wants this available for download, how to tell the community about it (unless they read this post) or if it will go into the bowels of the unfindable on this site. It is there if anyone wants it. If anyone wants more, just ask.

Sure, I will make it available. I will need to work on it first and get it back to something people can use on their site.

Does anyone have a PSD or layered PNG of the XOOPS Logo or know where I can get my hands on it?

If one of the administrators can tell me where to send it when it is done I would appreciate it.

XOOPS backend makeover

I have no idea if this is the place to post this but...

I have used XOOPS for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. Once they get started with it, the people I am making sites for love it too. However, it is extremely hard to sell going to a system that aesthetically looks inferior to Joomla or other CMSs. People are not impressed with the default theme and backend of the system.

I decided to play with it a little and see how long it would take to adjust the backend and make it a little "prettier" and hopefully easier to get buy in from the end users. It took all of 3 hours and I ended up with something that is (to the untrained eye) on par with the other CMSs as far as cool graphics. For some people, if it looks cool, it is cool.

I know the graphics in the backend don't matter but XOOPS is not doing itself any favors by neglecting it. I don't think it would take an extraordinary effort to change it either.

Just my 2 cents.

Here is a screenshot, by the way. SCREENSHOT


**UPDATE**
the hack is available in the downloads section of my site here:

As a start, look in the /language/english/mail_template/ folder (substitute "english" for whatever language you need). those are your mail templates. You can open them with notepad or wordpad or some text editor. Change them as you want.

I am getting the same thing. The header image looks funny with several resolutions, both larger and smaller than the "sweet spot".

Maybe have the picture fade to the right into a solid color or gradient and then have the repeating image be the same color or gradient? It would smooth things out signigicantly.

Resized Image

Does anyone know if a tamplaye exists for these graphics? If so, what would I need to do to get my hands on it? Any help would be appreciated. I have searched this site and googled my heart out with no luck.

While not claiming that my company is "large/major" but we have about 75 employees.
