Access Theme

Hey Leon -- I've been exploring AC 2.2 beta with the new Access 1 Beta 2 --- great to finally be using it. It's refreshingly new, and yet not too new that it feels alien. Good work.

I had a quick question -- would it be possible to add the "status" that is visible in the individual project Overview screen to each project in the archive list?

i.e.

* Dashboard»
* Projects»
* Paused / Completed / Canceled

Maybe just under this info - for each project in the list:

Leader:
Starts On:
Status:


Ideally I'd love to see this more visual at a glance when you are looking at the list --- what if a color background or symbol was assigned to each status --- so the status could be listed in text format and there is some sort of color or image reference for each status - canceled, paused and completed (maybe red / yellow / green ? not sure what you think).

I'd like to be able to review the archive to see what happened to some projects easily -- and also paused projects would obviously need to be handled differently than completed and canceled projects as people will want to follow up on those, making that easy to spot would be great.

Again just some thoughts --- the simple solution would be adding some text I think, but knowing how great you've made access I'm sure you'll come up with something slick if you think the idea is a good one. Some way to sort or organize by status would have been a good feature of AC 2.2 --- maybe I missed it.

Thanks again!

I'm happy to announce the release of Access 1.0 (final) today. Thank you to everyone who reported bugs, suggested ideas and supported us throughout the development process!

We wrote a quick blog post about it, updated the main Access theme page and have added it to the downloads section here - so plenty of ways to get your copy ;)

A lot of time has gone into creating this theme - if you like the theme a blog post about it or link back to us would be fantastic! :)

Thanks,

Hi Leon,

GREAT work! I love the Access theme and use it as the default for our aC install.

I haven't brought this up before because I assumed it would get addressed in the final release, but it appears you missed the 'Compare Versions' (diff) page in the Pages module. The button has an issue, and the body of the page doesn't have an appropriate background specified.

There is one other small thing - purely subjective - which is the italicized Edit? link on most objects, that seems a little strange and out of place... but apart from that one minor little quibble, on the whole the theme is fantastic and I for one really appreciate your effort.

Thanks, and take care!

Thanks for pointing out that issue of missing styles on the 'Compare Versions' page in Pages module!! Kind of embarrassing that we missed it. I've updated the theme to Access 1.1 which fixes this issue.

Download available from the downloads section or over here.

Re: Italicized 'Edit' links... I agree with you a bit here. We really liked results from having the "Manage Categories?" link different to the other tabs and I guess we were looking for a similar effect with the other Edit/Manage links... But the result isn't as great. I'll be looking at improving this in a future version ;)

Thanks for the compliments! :)

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I've been on a rather long holiday :) Can you tell me more about the issue you mentioned ie, is it on comments in files or tickets etc. and what browser? I did some testing but haven't been able to recreate the issue yet.

** HOT FIX for anyone using Access 1.1 and is upgrading to AC2.2.2 Beta **
An extra SPAN tag seems to have been added in some of the comment/submit buttons, causing a small styling bug in Access. To fix, ADD the following code to /public/assets/themes/Access/theme.css

button span span {background:none;padding:0;}

It's not perfect but will solve the issue until we look at it in more detail. This fix will be included in the next version of Access.
