Linuc82 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I was just wondering if anyone has info about possible new themes for both client and admin in future? We've been running WHMCS since Matt personally coded addon modules for clients, which I guess is about 10 years. I just recently thought to myself, my word "Six" and "Blend" has been with us forever, it would be refreshing to get a new look and feel. Maybe it's just me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand nothing has been announced about v8 yet - and I can't see any new themes arriving in the existing v7 releases.

Expand and there are people still using the v4 admin theme which is so old that predates me - I would suspect that v8 will have to include new admin/client and/or cart themes... no doubt it will take them a year or two to get the themes right... there are still bugs with Six that haven't been fixed and that's been around for 5 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aegisdesign Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Bearing in mind the dev teams current view that sticking with Bootstrap v3 is fine (it's not) and that everything is templated (it's not), it would seem unlikely we're going to see new themes before WHMCS v8. Hopefully they're addressing theming fully in v8 (child themes, de-coupling their code from specific frameworks, publishing their SASS/LESS and uncombined JS source on github etc...) making life easier for 3rd party theme designers. It'll be disappointing if we're still stuck with Bootstrap v3, untemplated output stuck in encrypted code and monolithic themes. And if they are doing those in v8, some decent forewarning to prepare would be useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand or more accurately, their spin doctor didn't spin that it's a new theme - it might just be an updated and thinned version of blend... time will tell. Quote A refreshed look and feel for the WHMCS admin area, that provides a slimmer, more lightweight and modern experience on desktop, and an improved responsive and touch-friendly experience for mobile and tablet devices. Expand their inclination to make it more usable for mobile devises was previously stated. the improved support for currencies was interesting - and explains why numerous staff over the last few months, were checking out the previous threads i've replied to about increasing the allowed integer and decimal values... it's so simple for them to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aegisdesign Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 We'll see. I'm trying to be optimistic. It's difficult in these times of pandemics, brexit and opaque WHMCS development. Hopefully it'll arrive alongisde Blesta adding Bootstrap 4 support (it's in their v5.0 beta sprints) so I don't have to get my head around using two different versions of Bootstrap finally.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jafar Muhammed Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It took 2+ years of discussions at https://requests.whmcs.com/topic/bootstrap-4-support and 2 - 3 months time frame to upgrade it. WHMCS devs are capable of doing things, but unfortunately, their priority is not for the users. I wish to see a quick checkout flow in the latest WHMCS, like a one-page checkout. I am so happy to see BS 4 in WHMCS. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
