Thoughts?

If its good we can do the css changes probably as well.

It looks quite nice, clean and simple to understand.

I do think that if anyone is going to invest time and effort into the client theme right now, then it should be with design decisions that will carry over and be reproduced in the later Tailwind theme because it makes no sense to do one thing now and then change it all again. That would be both a waste of time and effort and also really user unfriendly.

I think we should not invest a lot of time in the layout for 0.0.1 / "main" branch.

But if you want to invest time into it go ahead...

I think I will hold on it. You are right it does not bring enough value to the old version to make it worth it. Now if I can find something quick to do that brings value I will do that. I feel like there are a few things I am interested in for both lara branch and main branch. I will report back.

i will upload the psd Monday if anyone wants this for lara down the line, but if im still around then I would love to learn tailwind and get it done.

Hi @weismannweb, did you upload the code anywhere, or didn't anything do with it?

Another solution could be to use https://github.com/merakiui and call it a day, it's done with

Tailwind CSS
MIT license
Looks Modern
Free 🎊

Hi there folks I did pass along the PSD I thought. This does not require payment and it can have any license that works for yours. Not sure if design needs licensing like software but yes the rights can be 100% community owned. The problem is if you don't have the psd I have to find it again. Give me a day.

weismannweb Hey there, I'm currently working on a client theme made on top of Tabler. The work has started just yesterday and it likely will take some time before I'll have anything good to publish. It may or may not be the new default theme, that's yet to be decided.

I'm not sure if we need the PSD right now as it wouldn't make sense to start a new theme or work on both at the same time before my work is finished.

I'll occasionally post screenshots to the #design channel in our Discord server.

Thanks a lot for the offer and the design work you did. We really appreciate it. Have a nice day 🙂

On no prob, is your theme tailwind? I think the core team was looking to tailwind? I'm guessing since you have the logo your a core team member. I had never heard of tailwind, i do like its idea a lot so thanks for the knowledge trasnfer. Also want to point out at the time we were doing low hanging fruit and this design was SPECIFICALLY done to require MOSTLY CSS changes ands barely any html (or whatever templating lang) view changes. This was looooong time ago in software years lol. If I can be of service to make any additional themes let me know. Probably wait till your tailwind infrastructure is done. I ended up using b***a because I needed something more aged. I do want to support though and I hope the Laravel branch is going well. I do believe my team has the psd so I will upload it here anyway for historical purposes.

No, it's built using tabler.io. Tabler is built on top of Bootstrap 5. It's actually what we already use for our admin panel, we have some familiarity of it as a team.

The decision to go with Laravel was done back when we started the project. Since then, stuff changed and the current codebase is in a point where a full rewrite doesn't seem vital at all. The reasons are explained in more detail here: Future FOSSBilling roadmap - Dropping the Laravel branch

No matter what you've chosen to go with, thanks for the support and being an active part of the community ♥️.

I don't know why the word "Blesta" is censored though. I don't think we have any automod rules or anything, feel free to use the word 😄.

evrifaessa is there update of your theme how does it look like ?

wprocketdev

The theme looks great. Where can I find the CSS?

MongerVog

I like this alot. In fact would be very nice to also see it for admin panel too. Please?

saumonarcenciel

Where did you find this theme? Or did you do it yourself?

Anyx

The theme featured at the initial post is a creation of its author @weismannweb, and it seems to be a design mockup (as he only mentioned a PSD file). I couldn't find it shared anywhere so I'm unsure that is still exists.

insha

can we use it or contribute ?

S4-John

The theme that is shown in the first post is, as others have said, just a design mockup and the code does not exist anywhere.

adamr1517

Is this theme available for use? Looks really nice!

insha

i hope @weismannweb will contribute, at least if we get mockup we can convert to html and then theming it

BelleNottelling

insha It was never finished and only exists as a very simple example theme to show people the basics of theming in FOSSBilling: https://github.com/FOSSBilling/example-theme.

However, over the last 4 months myself and another contributor did work to migrate the existing "Huraga" theme to Bootstrap 5 and resolved quite a few of the bugs that it had. I'll continue to iterate on this new version of Huraga across FOSSBilling releases and make it better and better, but as-is it's already quite good and will be in FOSSBilling version 0.6.0.

Screenshots of it are visible in the recently posted sneak peek for 0.6.0: https://forum.fossbilling.org/d/100-060-sneak-peek.
