From my point of view, the Argos theme should become the default "backend" theme, as this has really a "modern" look and feel and is some other improvements (e.g. the media stuff), which makes working much easier.

I agree, that Jurgens Theme is better in many points as the default WB Theme.

However, to be the "default one" it should fit more to the WB like design to represent it well.
I also think a WB Logo should be part of the default theme - that's not at least important for screenshots of the backend for marketing purposes. 

Jurgen, I hope you don't get me wrong.
As many people know I have also created a Theme for WB Backend by myself which is very modern, but unfortunatly I don't have the time (not yet) to make the needed fine tuning, which is needed before I present it to the community.
However, my work started a long time ago and was never meant to be a "battle" with your work   :lol: (as some people do like to suggest).

I think the default Theme should be representative for WB as CMS in any aspect - and still modern and attractive.
It may be that I am alone with this considerations... wouldn't be the first time.
But besides functionality, there should be somthing representative for WB to become "standard".

Hope your solution also works if Javascript is disabled (at least as long this is not a requirement of the WB core). Beside the DOM handling, the ability of writting unobtrusive Javascript solutions is one of the biggest benefits of the jQuery.

Hi Doc,

thanks for the thumbs up! No, the tabbed interface and Basic/Advanced switch doesn't work without javascript. But the regular admin themes need JS as well. For exampe the old style Basic/Advance switch also needs JS, and so does the page tree opening/closing, etc. I don't think there are many people who expect to operate a CMS with JS disabled... And if they do, they are not of this world.

You haven't seen the new "WB like" CI.  8-) Because there argos_theme would fit best from the three ones... About 60%, the others only 40%.  :lol:

Yours Michael

Sure?

Stefek,

I have absolutely no problem with you or others making backend themes, on the contrary. I look forward to your version once you have found the time to finish it. Contributing to WB has nothing to do with battles whatsoever  :-D

I would love to see my theme become the default, but that's not my intention. But if the developers like to have my theme as a basis for a new default one, I'll be more than glad to give it a more "WB compliant" design in new versions. But that won't be for WB2.8.1 I'm afraid.

I'm reworking the Settings section from tables to DIV's now. Almost finished. Much cleaner and better!
