Change default Theme to Rainbow Saphir

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

I see that more and more the Rainbow theme is used in our demos.

I guess it's because It has 2 advantages:

 1. Being initially based on Flat Grey it handles RTL languages (the only one doing that with Flat Grey)
 2. It's a modern theme, like others but Flat Grey (dropdown sub-menus etc.)

Now if we agree about the change we also need to determine which variations, I personally prefer Saphir, (BTW in English should be Sapphire and we
need to change that ;))

I have also just noticed one thing: if you set the Arab language it's difficult (impossible?) to get back to another language w/ that theme. To be
checked before creating a Jira for that...

Hi,

Should I take no answers as a lazy consensus or everybody missed it :) ?

Or maybe this should be considered blocking for such a move? (I don't think so, having it on demo will bring a solution forward)

Hi Jacques

Sorry I missed this.

+1 for changing the default theme to Rainbow Saphir (and correcting spelling in the name).

Thanks
Sharan

Hi,

Some news about that:

I have created few related minor issues that I want to fix before moving on

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9863

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9867

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9923

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9924

I also want to update this page before

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Visual+Themes+-+How+to

I'll before create a link to the current page as reference for releases prior to the introduction of Common Theme

Also do we really need this obsolete page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Themes+stack ?

Thanks

Jacques

This bug under Tomahawk theme was never addressed. I'd suggest removing Tomahawk as long as a default theme change is being discussed:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9270

Hi Dan,

I'll not remove it but it will no longer be the default theme, WIP: http://markmail.org/message/yaerkxdecxv3lrdl

This is done, the default theme in trunk is now Rainbow Saphir, see OFBIZ-9990

I have also updated https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Visual+Themes+Gallery

BTW it would be great if we could use the same logo everywhere and get rid of old version at least in svn trunk
It's a mess in general with images. There are 3 locations: svn repo, main site and wiki.
We should link as much as possible from our svn repo. I even wonder if we should not ALWAYS link to it, even from the main site!

So having a copy of https://ofbiz.apache.org/images/OFBiz-logo.png into a svg file for use in Rainbow theme would be great
For consistency reason it would be great to be renamed ofbiz-logo.svg and placed in images for better shared access than in Rainbow images.
Should I create a Jira for that? Will someone take care of that for R17 coming?

TIA

Jacques
