Just had to reinstall our server due to filesystem corruption. Noticed on the reinstall, the ORIGNAL DA Theme is no longer included in the install. After nearly 20 years with DA, I honestly do not care for the newer themes. They feel too cluttered to me for the simple tasks we need to do. In the past, on the occasions we needed the expanded features/functionality of the newer theme, we'd just switch the theme, do the task, and switch it back to the classic.
I'd like to get the classic theme back, but cannot find a download for it anywhere. Can someone here share?
 
Classic? You mean the "power_user" skin? I always used (and still using) the enhanced theme.

I have a search for you but it seems it's gone from the mirrors too.
However I don't recall that DA has stated they would end support for that skin.

Not the power user skin. In skin manager it was always just called "Default", then there was enhanced, power user, and evolution.

I had to use the wayback machine to get a picture of the original skin, which I used until this past saturday. It was updated quite a bit more than what shown, with much more functionality, but I just went back to 05 to get the screenshot.

Might have been easier to use Google and then click the images tab, I've seen an example right away. At least from the choice options you mentioned.
I only looked via SSH not via the panel itself, via SSH there is no default skin in the skins directory, so hence my mistake.

And you're right. I've got a couple of servers installed in 2019 and one in june 2021. The servers from 2019 have the "default" option. The 2021 server does not have that anymore.
So it's probably removed somewhere in 2020. Maybe it's declared end of life. Now I see the old "default", I thought I remember seeing somewhere that it would be dropped. But I might be mistaken. I really have a memory leak here on this issue.

But at least it's correct it's not present in the 2021 installations anymore from june or maybe earlier.
