Sub Projects

Here is a brief list of the sub projects available here. More to come in the future, so check back occasionally!

Graphics & Themes

This is a collection of graphical enhancements to XOOPS. They are (mostly) purely cosmetic and have little functionality outside of the visual realm.

XOOPS2 Module Icons

This is an alternate XOOPS module icon theme I came up with. Actually, it's just a single semi-translucent, colorless (i.e., grayscale) PNG file, but you can use it as a layer in GIMP or your favorite image editor to create different color module admin buttons that are still consistent with the shape and layout of the originals provided with XOOPS. For me, they give a nice personal flare to the modules I'm working on.

Here's an example:

Here's an example with an icon and a caption:

XOOPS2 Module Icon Example 2

Here's a hint when designing your own icons using this overlay (this assumes you have an image editor which supports layers like GIMP). Create two layers, one with a solid color and one with the overlay. Use your image editor's hue/saturation adjustment tool to change just the layer with the solid color. This will allow you to see and fine tune the background color of your final icon very quickly.

You can download the latest overlay and the example files here.
