Is there any help on this, I can follow css a little bit from some training years ago, just don't know what element does what i.e. h1 etc. I would like to learn a bit of code, this is a harmless way of getting the brain going. And who knows the artistic abomination I could come up with.

Was hoping to to a cool thread with everyone's new design pics... Guess its too difficult for the average user.

Anyone wanting to play around with CSS on the fly, you can try firebug for firefox and chrome -

Changing Fonts

 

A simple one to get some folks started. You can adjust the fonts the WebUI uses. Currently by default this is -

body {
    font-family: Roboto,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
} 

You could delete the "Roboto" and change your font to Arial, or change it for any other font you have available. You could even import fonts available on the web.

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700);
body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

Here I've imported the Open Sans font from google fonts.

This one is still a bit buggy (especially on the login screen) - it replaces "Mediabrowser" with your own custom site name next to the Hamburger in the upper left. It also shifts the search over slightly to allow for slightly longer names.

 

.logoLibraryMenuButtonText {
  position: absolute;
  visibility: hidden;
}


.logoLibraryMenuButtonText:before {
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  content: "SiteName";
  visibility: visible;
}




.headerSearchInput {


 position:relative;
 right:-80px;
}


.searchInputIcon {
 position:absolute;
 left:85px;
}

Some changes I have implemented on my server, just tweaks to the existing interface. Haven't tested on multiple browsers or screen sizes, just made it work for me.

/*Lighten backdrop 'cover' so image can be seen */
.backdropPage.ui-page-theme-b:not(.lightBackdropPage) {
  background-color: rgba(20,20,20,.88) !important;
}

/*Change 'Played' icon background to red for better visual separation */
.ui-icon-check.ui-btn-icon-notext {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: -1px;
  text-align: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
  width: 25px;
  height: 20px;
  padding-top: 3px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  color: #fff;
  background: rgb(153,0,0);
}

/*Remove 'Missing Trailer' icon in metadata editor, I don't use trailers*/
img[src='css/images/editor/missingtrailer.png'] {
  display:none;
}

/*Enable vertical scrolling on the custom css text box*/
#txtCustomCss{
  overflow-y:scroll;
}

/*Enable vertical scrolling on the custom css text box*/
#txtCustomCss{
  overflow-y:scroll;
}

 

Custom CSS for the Custom CSS box, love it.

Nothing fancy but may help people explore.

 

Remove Blue Edit buttons:

.accentButton {display: none;}

 

Larger thumbnails:

@Media (min-width: 1400px){.backdropCard {width: 25%;} !important}

 

Remove margins around cards/thumbnails:

.cardBox {
margin: 0px;
}

[bigjohn]

I used some of shaefurr's Disparity images for my user view and collection folder primary images, but they needed some separation from the background:

 

 

 

So I added this snippet to the custom css, matching the blue to some of the blue in the Disparity collection:

/*Blue border and glow for userview cards */
div[data-itemtype="CollectionFolder"] .cardContent,
div[data-itemtype="UserView"] .cardContent,
div[data-itemtype="PlaylistsFolder"] .cardContent{
  border: 1px solid rgba(0,94,243,.5);
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.075),0 0 8px rgba(0,94,243,.6);
  box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.075),0 0 8px rgba(0,94,243,.6);
}

Which results in this:

 

[ebr]

Nice, John.  That really helps.

[mediacowboy]

@bigjohn, Thank you for the blue glow. I add it and some tweaking to the "My Views (buttons)" and came up with this.

 

 

Follows is the CSS: 

 

.myLibraryPosterItem .posterItemImage{

background-color: #111;

border: 1px solid rgba(0,94,243,.5);

-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.075),0 0 8px rgba(0,94,243,.6);

box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.075),0 0 8px rgba(0,94,243,.6);

}

a idea for hover thumbs. i can't code css, so ur guys mabye can.

[Luke]

by the way in case you guys don't realize, this feature even works when your users connect to your server via the hosted web client. it pulls down the css and loads it dynamically.

[jwill]

Can the custom CSS feature be used to darken all the Dashboard backgrounds?

I like the dark backgrounds of the metadata manager and the web client, but the white background of the Dashboard is way too bright. I don't know much about CSS, so if it is possible, an example or two would be nice.

I'm looking for something like this (except I would also like the top bar darkened). This is how the Dashboard looks in Chrome with the "Hacker Vision" extension enabled.

[techywarrior]

Depending on exactly what you want (it's hard to tell from a screenshot that has other changes to it) it would be something like this:

.ui-page-theme-a .content-secondary {
background: #000;
}
.ui-page-theme-a .selectedSidebarLink {
    background: #666 !important;
}
#dashboardPage .ui-content {
background: #333;
}
.ui-page-theme-a .selectedSidebarLink .sidebarLink,
#dashboardPage .pageTitle,
#dashboardPage .ui-overlay-a, 
#dashboardPage .ui-page-theme-a, 
#dashboardPage  .ui-page-theme-a .ui-panel-wrapper {
color: #fff;
}

That's just a start I did quick without actually testing but see how that works for you.

[jwill]

That darkened the sidebar (and left the top bar dark), but most of the main frames are still white or very light. For example:

[techywarrior]

Do you want EVERYTHING dark? There is going to be little contrast in those interior boxes. I wonder why it didn't take the text color and the background color I set there. I guess I'll actually need to apply it and see what is going on.

 

Here, I used the ID of a specific dashboard page instead of the general one.

.ui-page-theme-a .content-secondary {
background: #000;
}
.ui-page-theme-a .selectedSidebarLink {
    background: #666 !important;
}
.dashboardDocument .ui-content {
background: #333;
}
.dashboardDocument .sidebarLink,
.dashboardDocument .pageTitle,
.dashboardDocument .ui-overlay-a, 
.dashboardDocument .ui-page-theme-a, 
.dashboardDocument  .ui-page-theme-a .ui-panel-wrapper {
color: #fff;
}
.dashboardDocument .sidebarLink:hover span.sidebarLinkText {
color: #333;
}
