An alternative "Control Panel"-theme for Liferay

Primary LanguageRuby

An alternative "Control Panel"-theme for Liferay (pre 6.1)
featuring a flexible layout, improved UI and last but not least, SASS and Compass.

This is a quick hack and will most probably remain dirty.
You're welcome to participate. Screenshot.

Currently only tested in Google Chrome.

To get this up and running in your local Liferay Plugins SDK

  • open a terminal window and navigate to the location of your Liferay Plugins SDK "theme"-folder
    cd ${PLUGINS_SDK_HOME}/themes
  • inside the "themes"-directory, clone this repository
    git clone git@github.com:fk/custom-control-panel-theme.git
  • modify the "build-common-theme.xml" of your Liferay Plugins SDK as described here: http://www.liferay.com/de/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/10803827 (yes, there may be a more elegant way, and probably will be in the future)

Optional and not required to build and deploy the theme

  • install SASS and Compass
  • go to ${PLUGINS_SDK_HOME}/themes/custom-control-panel-theme/docroot/_diffs and let Compass watch for changes by running
    compass watch
