"Dixie" - A responsive DirectAdmin skin

Thanks for adding volume breaks... I'd be interested in a working demo as well... Could you PM me demo details?

Thank you =)
 
Wow thanks DennisNL for helping out with demo.
Just send me a PM if anyone else needs a demo login.

We are of course curious about what you think, even if you decide not to purchase a license. So please feel free to give us feedback. We'll try to use this to make a better skin.
 
Overall the skin is nice... There are some layout issues, dropdowns next to buttons, but, it needs SOME color.

Also, the progress bars being used to depict usages shouldn't keep animating once displayed...

I look forward to watching this skin mature =)
 
I do agree about the color. We are thinking of places to incorporate a bit color without it feeling too "alien" in this flat color scheme.

I actually like the fact that the progress bars are active.
 
Oh, and I have added a user level demo to my first post. This way you can testrun the skin as your clients will see it.

No reseller and admin level public demo since they use license keys, but I will provide that via PM.

In terms of proper UI, animation is typically used to let a user know something is happening... Everytime I saw the bars in motion it made me think something on the page was still updating...

It would be really cool to see them animate/grow to the the desired width on page load, but once loaded (at least for me) it's kind of distracting.

That said, my opinion is just that and the skin is very nice either way... Props =)

Yeah I thought that was strange too.
 
It's a good looking them, and well designed. But I can't use it.

The typeface, quite elegant, is unfortunately too thin for people with low vision. Would you consider offering a way to manage different ypefaces or weights to make it work for people with low vision? (Some of our clients have low vision.)

Hi Jeff!

Thank you for your kind words.
I will look into the possibility of adding a font switcher or at least a way of setting the font-weight property and get back to you on that.

Hi,
is it possible to put the vertical mainmenu from left to right position?
And a floating menu would be better, if you choose a big site you get the last menupoint out of view, it looks like the menu jumps.
Indeed - looks great!

Hi,
Great skin, I brought 1 copy to test, the only thing I noticed is that the login.html doesn't have a password reset option for clients, if it is set in the directadmin settings.
I'll be watching this skin :)
Thanks,
Bob

Not without some modification to the core structure of the skin I'm afraid. It's an easy change to do manually, but somewhat complicated to implement for changing dynamically.

But I understand what you're saying. I'll give this some thinking and see if I can come up with something smart. Thanks!

The file manager works. It's just disabled in the demo account.
