Thanks for your points!

  1. Scroll bar can be made wider by applying user styles (using styles.css), example:
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 8px;
    height: 8px;
}
  1. I will try adding it in settings next release

  2. I will try to make new tab automatically open when right clicking on those Webmin/Virtualmin/Clouldmin switches

  3. Not sure what you mean really..

  4. I tried updating the theme on CentOS 7 installation - all works fine? Ahh.. OK, I understood while typing.. - You need to make sure that you have installed Net::SSLeay Perl module.

  5. Please, check the theme on the other phone! I have tested it on my Firefox on HTC One M8, using Android 5.0.2 and it all works great (same as Chrome)

You are welcome. Thanks for the tips! I will try all make it work by the next release.

If you are reffering to the connection problem: when I save the firewall configuration (pressing apply) virtualmin never recovers with your theme. With framed for example there are no problems. Using iptables so connections I guess are dropped when restarted.

About scrolling in Chrome - you don't need to use scroll bar (mouse click and drag). Vertical scrolling works as it is. Horizontal scrolling will work same as vertical if you click and hold SHIFT key, while mouse scrolling the ordinary way. It will scroll horizontally the same way if you click and drag it..

I added to the development version the ability to open Webmin/Usermin/Virtualmin/Cloudmin/Webmail new tab by clicking right mouse click. It will be added to version 11.10. Please read change log carefully to avoid extra questions!

Dear friends, please welcome version 11.10.

This is Medium Release. New features, improvements and bug fixes.

  • Added ability to open new tab of Webmin/Usermin/Virtualmin/Cloudmin/Webmail by clicking on the switch (top left menu's selector) by right mouse button. Important: You must once add popup window exception in your browser to make this feature work
  • Improved greatly the usage of autocomplete for basic Webmin modules. You can test it by going to Running Processes or Perl Modules and start typing in search field. Same done for most inbuilt modules
  • Removed a hack for Historic System Statistics module, as it was fixed by the author in version 2.11 #1
  • Fixed login screen missing for the link to Virtualmin Password Recovery module, in case it's installed and set in Webmin Configuration->Anonymous Module Access. In that case, the reset button will act as expected and be the color of yellow #152
  • Fixed Webmin Servers Index module issue #147
  • Fixed databases listing in editing table cells mode #150
  • Fixed increased the height of ::-webkit-scrollbar for easy access
  • Fixed .cgi file attributes and set to be executable by default #154
  • Fixed missing images in Translator Module #155
  • Fixed multiple small bugs

How to change percentage of CPU, Mem and HDD into numbers because this solution doesnt give any detailed info. I know under that we can find more precise numbers but i would like to change that upper part or just remove it.

It's very easy to remove that part. Just use custom styles.css and add the following code there:

#system-status > .panel-body > div.row:first-child {
display: none;
}

How do I load custom styles?

Oh i found a bug with Authentic theme - i'm not able to insert "@" character. Encounter this in Usermin (ofc) when i was testing how it looks and found that "alt + v" doesnt do anything in To, Cc or Bcc but it works in message box. Could you please check this and see if can be changed. Got same result with FF and Opera.

P.S. Thank you for the code.

At first, you're welcome!

Well I am not sure what you mean? I can easily insert any character using Ctrl+V combination though. I'm not sure why you expect Alt+V to insert anything as this is not default as far as I know. What OS you're on?

By default Authentic Theme uses Alt+V to switch to Virtualmin. (It's in README.md).

Alt Gr (a.k.a right Alt) + V is shortcut to "@" symbol on Win 7 (eng.) with Croatian keyboard. If you really put this shortcut to switch to Virtualmin (and block from using it in Usermin) that means anyone from Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia will have same problem as me. More info you can find here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key. It would be good to change this as you cut good amount of people from using properly Usermin and we need to literally copy/paste this symbol from another place if we want to send email.

  • 2. with authentic: http://i.imgur.com/x8bsveq.jpg
  • How you can see the email in Authentic theme is completely broken.

    Guys, finally! I have finished that massive update that now brings Icons back!

    Shortly, there are 3 types of icons that can be used Default (Big Icons), then Small Icons (my favorite) and xsmall icons. Read more in Change log

    Version 12.00 (May 3, 2015)

    • Added right page icons, that had been around in other themes for decades. Many people asked for it, including Joe Cooper. It was one of the conditions for making Authentic Theme default in Webmin. Icons that are used at the moment, are not brand new but looks good. Brand new, SVG icons, are coming in the near future! It's very important to know, that all of these innovations, can be tweaked using settings. By default, big icons are enabled, with animation and grayscale effect. Using settings, you can change default icons, to small or extra small, or even completely disable them and get back to what Authentic Theme has been before. Added in settings settings_right_hide_table_icons, settings_right_small_table_icons, settings_right_xsmall_table_icons, settings_right_animate_table_icons, settings_right_grayscaled_table_icons. Read the manual for using it

    • Improved general UI of the left menu

    • Fixed some bugs

    @Ilia: Last 2 or 3 updates i have only one thing to say - you did amazing job. From something i would never use i changed my mind and actually put Authentic theme as default. Circles with server stats now looks more clean and professional, and you managed to sort the bugs in Usermin. Only one thing i liked more how it was before is w/o icons but i get why chief Joe ask for this, usually people like icons. :)

    Thank you, my friend! You don' like icons? No problem you can use previous display of links, w/o icons, just use the following setting:

    settings_right_hide_table_icons = true;

    Is it better?

    Actually i used

    // Make right page icons small
    settings_right_small_table_icons = true;

    // Grayscale icons and bring color only on focus
    settings_right_grayscaled_table_icons = false;

    and it come out great, lets say middle ground between no icons and big one. :)

    Thanks for the awesome update! Just some help with styles.css: can you offer a piece of code that will provide a larger width for the login table (for a bigger logo, and seems to me it looks better, on fullHD/2K)? Now it's 310px no matter what I do, so my classes must be wrong...

    Thanks will try it maybe today; now I am fiddling with a new server, and still have my old problem, the theme doesn't get updated, still on 10.1.2. I have perl-Net-SSLeay installed and at the latest version on that CentOS 7.1 machine. No problems on my good oldye 6.6 CentOS. So what should I check next?

    Oh my, the evolution of the theme is astounding even between these two close versions!

    Test it, installing in given order one by one, checking if it works.

    1. LWP::Protocol::https using CPAN or by package name perl-LWP-Protocol-https

    2. Bundle::LWP using CPAN or perl-libwww-perl

    Make sure to report back, if only 1 is enough or 2 option is also needed, so I will add it to tutorial for future reference.

    Great job. There is only one minor thing which I don't like very much.

    The theme is exposing products names in the url, like for example:

    domain.com:10000?cloudmin/

    The original Virtualmin theme does not do this, the url stays the same regardless if you switch between products. I understand this may be related to JavaScript but maybe it would be better to use something generic instead or short url or if it can be avoided all together the better like the default theme.

    Several reasons come to my mind:

    Branding. Users that brand the control panel now have the name exposed in url Simplicity, short url does not confuse users is the same regardless which product you click Security, you are exposing the product software name which may be unwanted in some installs, in particular because you are identifying where the user is clicking which may lead to injection attacks (at least its making them more easier as you can identify the product the user clicked)

    I would rather prefer if names or products are not exposed in the url.

    There is also bug with some parts where you click the back button, it does not go back and shows the same error again having to click the back button twice.

    Otherwise its looking amazing. Please tell your PayPal or donation address.

    Thank you for your comment! About security - don't worry it has no security impact. It's not possible complete get rid of it as it's the part of functionality. Defaut theme does't offer features that Authentic Theme does. I needed those to trigger certain UI events. They can not be removed. The only thing I could try to do on the other release is to change cloudmin->cm and virtualmin -> vm, if it made any sence.

    About the bug with javascript and back button - i know about this. I will try fixing it next time.

    Please test the following.

    I think it's a bug in the theme or missing functionality. Log in as a user into Cloudmin and there is no system information displayed, just a white blank box where the user would normally see his account and system information for that server.

    Not as a root, but as webmin user. In cloudmin its not displaying VM information under that tab which is the default after you log in as user.

    Actually now that I was testing more things you should try testing Cloudmin from the user side and its partially broken in several parts. Example, there is no status under the managed systems in the menu. The default theme updates the status text right under the manage systems like No Ping, Active, etc.

    I would also try to use an icon or something to make it more visible which VM you are managing, the default theme does it.

    The menu in Authentic does not update on commands either or when the status of a machine changes. This is nasty bug. For example if someone happens to shut down his VM. In the default template, the left menu will change the options once the VM is stopped. Why? Well because rebooting and other things don't work anymore if its shut down (makes sense). In the default theme other options appears like Booting it up again.

    Using Authentic this options don't change in the menu, I just found out that if a user shuts down a VM for example he cannot start it again anymore as the options in the menu to start it again are not there.

    I will try to make a lists of bugs, but its quite easy to see what is working and what is not. Create 2 users, assign Authentic to one, leave the other in the default theme. Then log into Cloudmin from both (with different browsers) and try to run different operations of VM's and you will see what I mean. File manager, start VM, and of other options are not there or don't change based on the commands executed.

    All themes must allow the use of overlays to brand Virtualmin otherwise 3rd party themes like yours most likely wont be used.

    My theme has custom extensions which let you do branding very easily, both on CSS and JS part.

    Please goto Authentic Theme Options and in the bottom of the screen click Theme Extensions button.

    In case you expect all other CSS elements to work the same predefined old way - I would guess they will not work. In case you need branding using Authentic Theme why not use in-build CSS/JS Extensions?

    Your theme breaks the very foundation of creating custom overlays to brand VM and CM. You expect people to recode or install your extensions to achieve the same results that has been laid out for 3 years by Jamie and Joe.

    I know you spent a lot of time creating your theme but it isn't compatible with the current coding practices that they have laid out in the current documentations.

    Your way creates a difficult way to brand your theme. For instance my overlay theme can be installed via yum or apt and webmin will see a new overlay once its installed so it's very easy to brand. You can't do that with your theme and so it breaks the current coding hooks that Joe and Jamie have created over the last couple of years.

    I am sure Joe and Jamie did not notice this for I am sure they would have pointed this out well before they added it to the git repo.

    You can make customisation you need (yes, you would have to do it over again - it's not cross compatible and if you think it can not be possibly cross compatible due to overall complexity). Afterwards, you can build an rpm that would install styles.css and scripts.js files to /etc/webmin/aithentic-theme - in the end you would get your customisations work.

    Think your self how would that be possible to make a new theme work only using old and limited number of selectors?? The idea of Webmin overlays is very limited to particular design and rather dated. You can achieve desired result in my theme as well by getting needed selectors using browsers dev tools.

    Hey Ilia. I found a small bug, sorry if you already know about this, mobile related:

    -in Firefox mobile (still kinda slow for me, but the speed is much better now, remember I mentioned this a few times?) if you manually edit let's say an apache directive, for a certain domain, save the file, and open it again, it looks like you did nothing. It almost looks like some cache problems in fact. This is wrong in so many ways, because... you tend to do it again, and if you actually see something else than the file itself... you get me.

    Can anyone else confirm it?

    Thanks for the 13 era :) !

    BTW - thanks for the Romanian translation - how did you managed to do it? Someone else helped you or? I would appreciate if you would put me in contact with the person, if he/she is interested, maybe I can find someone else to help me with the whole Virtualmin localisation in Romanian, a project postponed for years due to ... lack of interest?

    Ok, I have also tested it in Firefox pretty much now. For some reason for me it feels slower than before - totally opposite to what you're saying! :) There is a big difference between the way you run it using Request Desktop Site option or not. In default mode (mobile, without desktop tick) I could open and save Apache, adding 1111 to first #, making it look like #1111 - it worked - no problem. The file was saved. The whole prosess felt slow - yes, that is true. Not THAT slow but it was on the edge of being slow and a bit annoying. ON THE OTHER hand I tried it in Chrome - and it was just perfect!! All was smooth and great.

    I personally have no idea why you're using Firefox. Firefox is a great-great browser but if you start comparing it with Chrome/Chromium then it looses a lot. It happens for me both desktop and mobile. Speaking about security, I believe in case you're running Android, it would make no difference if you run Chrome or Firefox, as in case Google tries to get our data (which I doubt, unless we're the target), it would get anyway by so many ways. So I don't want to look arrogant but I would recommend using Chrome with Webmin on mobile.. because I have no damn idea why it's slower in Firefox than in Chrome. In case you know it, please let me know! :D

    Romanian translations were done by some guy from GitHub. Please join GitHub - it's really great in all ways! (https://github.com/qooob/authentic-theme). There later, you will be able to contribute and I will add you're name to the translation contributors. Speaking about Virtualmin translation in general, you should submit it to Webmin repo on GitHub (https://github.com/webmin/webmin) and they will add it to the distro on the next release.

    Well, overall transformation of the theme will happen in version 14, which will have great number of improvements and will be released by the end of the year. I have so much ideas to embody to make Webmin unparalleled server-management panel.

    I see, so once again you can't reproduce the behavior, man something is fishy with that browser ... :/

    I also converted to Chrome, but only on the desktop after, well, forever, using Firefox. It just drove me nuts on KDE, was sluggish like hell with two high-end GC in crossfire.

    But I still miss it. And there is the tracking issue too in Chrome. And all kind of other stupid things that hold Chrome back from being the greatest web browser. Weird actions to clean the cache/history (how else can they track you?) and the behavior of searching instead of offering my bookmarks (everything I love or use intensively = I bookmark), or even the bookmarks looking like s...t and moronically managed (kinda solved lately) just to discourage you to use them, and use the search engine. Whatever, but it still rocks.

    So I would normally agree with you. Biggest problem is I can't install AdBlocker on the mobile version; and I can't stand how the web looks without it or some other similar extension. Or at least last time I tried, I am not root yet because of the warranty. I am manually allowing all websites I respect to show me their ads. And click'em. But not every stupid website that I try, and in fact it doesn't interest me, each of them taking a few seconds from my life just to show me some non sense ad. Google removed all blockers from the playstore just to happily annoy me :)

    That being said, Firefox it is on the mobile side for now.

    Heard you with github, will do that. Tks!

    :) You should go root and f... that warranty thing. They will do their best not to provide you one and on the other hand 99% of chance that your phone will just work for another 10 years at least :) .. and it will work much faster and more stable, for instance with CynogenMod! It will be more secure as well. For example, CynogenMod, has inbuilt Privacy options, which will let you choose per-app access options to your data, for example, you can prevent Viber or Skype from reading your location data, or even like prevent your stupid bank app from reading your contacts (which makes no sense in general at all to have access to (but they do it)).

    After you do proper OS and root access (you will need dev tools to enable it. To enable dev tools in CM you need to click Build number tab 5 times or so (it's in Settings->About Phone )) you can install AdAway (better than ADB, I think) and get rid of all ads at once.

    On desktop, you could build Chromium your self, in case you don't trust Chrome with few extra plugins. You could also use Google stuff in Firefox and all the rest in Chrome/Chromium... save the passwords and data in it, which will stay on your computer only.

    Good luck!

    Stopped counting my burned ROMs around 100 on my previous HTCs phones :) , so I know about the advantages of custom cooked ROMs.

    Another question for you: sometimes when logging in (Chromium) I have a grey bar at the bottom of the screen, around the same size and color as the Webmin/Virtualmin/Cloudmin tabs/buttons, is this by design? But it disappears after a while (never caught it in the act how or when exactly).

    Can you please add a screenshot? I don't recall having it! Are you logging in as root?
