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.
I put some info about Xymon Themes that I know on hobbitmon/sandbox/themes http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/sandbox/themes/ tj
