With all the discussion about icons, I figured I would open another

I don't know if this has been discussed before (I could not find anything
in my searches). As part of getting buyoff from managers we changed the
look of hobbit to be a little less "dark". We only make one change to the
code (to make highlighting of the line work), all other changes were to the
web/www files.
Major Changes:
- Moved menu down to make room for 'company banner'
- changed colors (background/font/etc)
- Removed background (we were annoyed by the "blink" everytime the screen
refreshed)
- Added status "line" between company banner & menu, also below the
footer. - Added highlight function: highlights line that mouse is over
- changed icons
- changed footer
I wanted to see what others thought of our effort. Also, I wanted to see
if others think it would be worth the time to make hobbit 'skins' (never
really cared for that term).
I am willing to help in any effort.
that is very impressive and looks very clean. as to skinning, henrik had mentioned in a past email thread that bbgen, the piece of hobbit that generated html, is not the most updated piece of hobbit. that people were most welcomed to create their own web 'frontend' to hobbit. i believe that thread then moved into the configuration files of hobbit, since bb-hosts defines both hosts to be monitored and the display layout. talk of how to reorganize hobbit configuration files ensued and the topic fizzeled out. i think henrik mentioned that he was considering a change in bb-hosts or how hobbit is configured, and if a 3rd party person was to write a alternative web interface, the configs would really need to be nailed down first.
as to your skin the only piece i would really miss is the background page color. seems yours is always white. maybe change the top blue swirly image to different colors.. dun know.
