[BlueOnyx:11397] Re: Fund-raising for a modern BlueOnyx theme

[Tjerk Hacquebord]

Good to see the layout is going to be renewed. I like it so I did a small
donation and encourage everyone to do so.

In terms of renewing.. would it be an idea to drop CODB when implementing
the new design?
CODB has a way of getting corrupt and its actual data is 'invisible' to most
users. Why not use something like a separate MySQL local admin server to
generate all the config files etc?
It has advantages in backup, error detecting, inserting, editing data..
I know it has nothing to do with the design but maybe when implementing the
new design it is a good time to look at the other end too.

Onderwerp: [BlueOnyx:11386] Fund-raising for a modern BlueOnyx theme

Hi all,

As you all know, the GUI interface of BlueOnyx ain't that stylish. It gets
the job done, but the actual design and the look and feel of the GUI itself
date back to the middle of the 1990's.

We want to change that and want to bring a new and modern look to the
BlueOnyx GUI interface. Something that will work well in modern browsers and
even on mobile devices and tablets.

We found a beautiful template for an admin interface, which would be ideal
for BlueOnyx.

However, it's a commercial template, professionally done, well supported and
well documented. And it costs money.

The author of the template has given his general consent for usage and has
given us quite a discount, but for an open source project that lives from
the good will and donations of it's sponsors and users that's still a
handful.

So we'd like to ask you for donations.

To read more about this, to see what the new GUI could look like and to
possibly make a donation, please take a look at the URL below:

Thank you!

P.S.: It will take some effort to integrate the new theme into BlueOnyx and
it will probably take some weeks until it can be published. But the result
will sure be worth it.

With best regards
