Hi, I have two issues in usermin, perhaps you can help...

Where can I find new usermin themes? I have a cool ajax theme for webmin, but I didn't find any cool usermin theme.

And second issue... it seems many translations are missing... any way to update the translations? I'm using usermin in french, and for example the filter and forward module is only in english...

Thanks

Most theme developers don't spend time making the theme work with Usermin...so not much besides the Virtualmin Framed Theme exists for Usermin. As far as I know, none of the themes other than Virtualmin Framed really address Virtualmin usage cases.

The good news is that a new theme for Usermin and Virtualmin/Webmin is coming soon. It has multiple color schemes, to boot. You'll like it.

We'd love to have help with translations. There's documentation about making translations for Webmin and Usermin here:

http://www.webmin.com/modules-newlang.html

Let us know if you have any questions, and we'll be happy to help. We'll jump through hoops to help you help us with translations.

How close is this to being completed? I am very interested to know. =)

I'm, hopefully, a couple of hours from rolling the new theme out for Webmin (it works in Usermin, too, but hasn't been polished for Usermin yet, so some things are ugly, still). The new theme is AJAX, and makes use of some rather advanced stuff--JSON, in particular, which needs a binary Perl module. So, once the binary builds are finished, I'll roll the new theme out for folks to try out. It won't become the default for another revision, or two, since it's still only really tested by me. But I've been using it for a week or so, now and it seems to actually work as well as the current theme.

great!

so, where is it? :)

I got side-tracked after releasing a rough version of it a few months back. But, I'm working on nothing else between now and when it's actually finished. I expect it to be ready for use in about 10 days (this time I really mean it). And this time it will be usable in production.

You'd better have it ready before Chicago or Jamie will be most upset with you... :)

Nice! I can't wait for it :)
If you need any tester, I will be glad to try it out and give some feedback!

Actually, Jamie cares almost nothing about UI stuff. Which is why I'm the one that works on making the themes look nicer. ;-)

But, I'm definitely wanting to have it ready to show off at YAPC. I've been talking a lot lately about about Perl's image problem, and the fact that Perl projects often ignore design as a problem worthy of attention. If I haven't solved that problem satisfactorily for Webmin and Virtualmin, I can't really get indignant when other people produce ugly software.
