That's easy...just create an account and add a new page...it might be a good fit on the "Add-ons" page or "Tutorials"...actually, a "How do I customize the Xymon Theme?" might be a good tutorial there.

Hi Thomas
I've actually changed a heck of a lot of files within hobbit to achieve this look (headers, footers, some of the scripts that generate web pages) in order to make more consistent use of CSS, so it is not upgrade-friendly at all unfortunately. I consider it a little bit hacky.
However, I can certainly try to get a collection of files together for people to look at on The Shire. I would imagine it would only work with version 4.2.0.
How should I go about getting the files onto the Shire?
Best regards,
Chris.

Hi Christopher !
I really like your theme. As you said, it's really clear and simple. Any
chance you share with us your material to build it ? Maybe you can post
it to the Shire (if you want, of course) ? I also second you when you
asked for a more themer-friendly version of Xymon !
Best regards,
ThomaS

Hi,
If a new theme is being considered, as well as a logo, I'd like you to
see what our current hobbit installation looks like (see attached). I
like the fact that the display is clear at a distance on the default
hobbit look - the black background really makes things stand out more than
a white background - so I haven't changed that aspect of it. I've just
changed the icons and the layout somewhat.
The black background lends hobbit a different feel to its competitors
out there at the moment (big sister, nagios etc) and (I think) makes the
display clearer - I would be keen to retain that.
Also (and I think someone else has mentioned this) please consider
colour blindness in any new theme. Two of my fellow sysadmins are red-
green colour blind. The current default is good because it uses saturated
colours and animated/shaped icons despite its basis on red, green and
yellow.
Finally, I would like to mention that it would be really really nice if
a future version of hobbit made more use of CSS and was a little more
themer-friendly.
Best regards,
Chris.
