Not made by Frog: new admin theme

Hey everyone. I’m new to Frog CMS. When I first installed Frog I was surprised by blue screens, because the Frog site is green and the screenshots were black. There were a few things I thought were distracting in the default themes (shadows on headings, for example), so I started working on making a few changes and basically ended up making a whole new theme, based on the color green used at the Made by Frog site.

Check it out:

This should work and look good in any modern browser, but the absolute best circumstances are: Mac OS X + Webkit + Consolas + Calibri (if you have Calibri, look at line 89).

Download it here. Please let me know what you think!

UPDATE: Feb 16, 2009
Moved selectors for boxes with CSS3 shadows to one place.
Added shadows to .popup

UPDATE: Feb 23, 2009
Removed most unused selectors.

UPDATE: March 2, 2009
I moved the download link to a page on my website so I can keep track of traffic.

Anyway, when I first installed Frog I was surprised by blue screens, because the Frog site is green and the screenshots were black.

yeah it might be a good idea to change the default admin theme to the black theme, since the screenshots use that theme…

Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if you notice any glitches or weird behavior. I’m planning to employ this on future client sites, so I’ll be maintaining it.

that might be a good idea. i don’t think anybody is really wild about the blue default theme right now.

are you using an image for the corners?

No images are used anywhere. The rounded corners are CSS3, available to Safari and Firefox 3. The shadow behind the date-picker is CSS3 (Safari only, I think).
