Metal - Webmin theme
Looking for a clean webmin theme and finding those available as looking new for the year 1999, i took the default stressfree theme and tuned it up a bit.
Here are some screenshots.
'To install the theme, unpack it to /usr/share/webmin or /usr/share/webmin-*current_version . then go to $hostname/webmin/edit_themes.cgi to select it.
I will update this theme from time to time (at least the icons), so if you have any sugestions feel free to express them. Should work on any 'decent new' browser but if you find someting let me know or fix it.
The icons are taken from the Gnome colors project and theyr (Carbonite) addon.
*05.09.2012 - Small update. Adapted some links to use $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'}; instead of $hostname, for external DNS use (FreeDNS for example)
*01.10.2012 - There seems to be a problem with the turnkey website, i cannot upload the tar file.
But you can download the theme from
http://www.metal696heart.com/sites/default/files/uploads/theme-metal-2012.tar
For those who could not install the template you can try now again, even with webmin theme installer form.
The problem seemed to be the config file which got corrupted by no apparent reason.
*01.10.2012 - Also, here is a variant without the top shortcuts (shell, db, home, virtual servers)
http://www.metal696heart.com/sites/default/files/uploads/theme-metal-simple.tar
*17.12.2012 - Changed / updated alternative download links.
*20.01.2013 - Virtual Servers links should be enabled only if virtualmin is enabled and available. Check.
*23.08.2013 - Added a mirror of this page and updated alternative download links.
Excellent Work!!!
Excellent Work!!!
The theme work perfectly on my 10 virtual server!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
:)
This theme is wonderful!
This theme is truly gorgeous, love the colour scheme and it works wonders on our servers!
You have really worked hard on this, and its a shame there aren't many themes out there for webmin, I will be using this one from now on!
Thank you very much!

theme trouble
I can not get this theme to actually load, I put it under /usr/libexec/webmin, as that's where webmin and the other themes were, forgive me I have not much experience with webmin.
On what distro?
What is the distribution that you use?
Falls back
Hi, I've tried to install this theme (looks great from what I've seen by the way!) however it keeps falling back to the old webmin theme, on my server. Is there any help you can give me?
Trouble installing
From the screenshots you have, this looks very much like a theme I want. Only I seem to be having some trouble getting it install
1. It would be nice if this was packaged in a installable tar file that I can just upload using webmin itself. That's kinda the point of webmin, not to need to go to the server.
2. If I make it a tar file and attempt to upload, I get Module . is missing a module.info file
3. I tried to install it like the instructions said, onlyin /usr/libexec/webmin, and i can see the them in webmin, but doesn't look like the screen shots.
I'm running CentOS 6.3 with WebMin 1.600. I was really anxious to try this them, but its back to streefree for me until I this won is able to work
I like how the theme looks in
I like how the theme looks in the screenshots, however, I am having trouble installing it. I followed the instructions, copied the folder to /usr/share/webmin. When I attempt to use the theme, it falls back to the old Webmin theme without loading any stylesheets.
I run Ubuntu 10.04 on my server.
Would love to install it
Same issue here, cannot install on Ubuntu 12.04, it keeps falling back to the old theme.
Any way to check the log to see what went wrong? This theme would be great!
Fixes.
Try installing again.
Working fine now!
Thanks for the fix, it works perfectly.
Note that your second link is broken (linking to theme-metal instead of theme-metal-simple): http://metal.linuxmaniac.net/theme-metal-simple.tar
Thank you,
Fixed the link also.
Great theme!
Great theme!
Those links at the top...the 'Home' 'DB Admin' 'Shell'. Those are rather nifty. I've been digging in /usr/share/webmin and /etc/webmin on my Ubuntu 12.04.1 system and I can't seem to find where I can reconfigure those links/ remove some and add others. Can you tell me where to find this information?
Thanks!
also...
Also wanted to know if I can show more information in the sidebar, like uptime, some system status indicators, updates available? anything like that?
Those links can be found in
Those links can be found in theme.pl at around line 307.
As for the sidebar ? can you make a list ?
Thanks!
Thanks. I found the top menu and changed and added what I wanted. :)
As for the sidebar, I'd want to see:
* System uptime
* Server Statuses for apache, mysql and postfix (just up and down display)
* System software package update status (if all packages are up-to-date, display accordingly, or if there are package updates, then display '# package updates available')
* # of running processes with a link to /proc/index.cgi
It's a bit involved. If you can let me know the file where I can change this stuff I could probably figure it out myself. :)
Thanks again! This is a wonderful theme.
Thanks - great theme
Really great theme, Webmin should adopt this as standard, brings the user interface bang up to date.
Would be nice if one could reconfigure the links and names of the right of the top bar.
Thanks
#next_pages_container { width: 5px; hight: 5px; position: absolute; top: -100px; left: -100px; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }Great work!
This theme really has made the usability of Webmin much easier. If you integrate Virtualmin into Webmin, then everything has the theme as well.
Just wanted to say "thanks".
Also I wanted to note the metal.linuxmaniac seems to be down?
Thank you
Updated the links for downloads, thanks for reminding.
Fabulous
Very nice work, thank you for this theme.
Nice, but needs more love.
It is a nice theme, but some things are broken and I'm not partiularly fond of the really long menus without the scroll as was in the Tiger theme. It's still alright though, just not something I'd use in production yet. Good stuff though! :)
Minimal webmin.
I use it with a minimal Webmin configuration, custom menus and reassigned menus.. Default webmin comes with a lot of stuff many of us dont ever use. For me for example this is a feature, not a bug.
But i will take your comment seriously, and you will be able to set your max-height of menus in the config file of the theme.
It's almost unbelievable that
It's almost unbelievable that this is the only good-looking theme for webmin in the whole www! I love the screenshots, can you the theme again or send it via e-mail? Would love to use it! Thanks!
Can me ___ ?
Great Job!!!
Hat off! Great job!
I struggled with the old WebMin theme. I really think that Metal theme should be the next default Webmin theme!!!
Thx!!
Mike
Nice theme, does it work with
Nice theme, does it work with virtualmin / cloudmin ?
Very Nice!!!
Best Webmin Theme i have seen yet!!!
Keep up the good work!!
Love it!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful theme which makes webmin more friendly to me :)
Awesome!
This Theme is fuc**** awesome! Thank you! :D
I have just lodged a feature request... :)
I have been watching this thread for sometime and I really like what I see, both the theme itself, but also Adrian's dedication to it (via updates and support here in this thread).
So I have just lodged a feature request to have this set as the default Webmin theme...
What do others think?
It would be nice, but ...
Hello Jeremy, Alon already came with this sugestion in january. He asked about licence (wich is GPL or whatever is needed) and maintenance. I sent him this:
I think my reply made him think twice before taking this decision (to make this theme the default).
He also asked for a git project wich i will bring in soon.
Ok cool
That's great that this has already been discussed... The ball is already rolling! :)
Personally I don't think the fact that you cannot guarantee security or new features is a big deal. It's open source all over - or more to the point it's programming all over, but less of an issue with open source because the code is out in the open. As Eric Raymond says (Linus' Law): "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". I think if your code were to be published somewhere that makes it easiliy accessable (such as GitHub) then you will get plenty of others looking over it.
And both Alon and Liraz are well versed in Perl (although I don't think either of them like it very much...) so they themselves would potentially be able to assist in that regard anyway...
I'll speak with Alon about it further...
Hi, First of all, this theme
Hi,
First of all, this theme is super cool! :) May I know is this theme compatible with latest Webmin 1.650? Sorry if this question is silly (I am very new to Webmin).
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you! :)
It works
At least what i use (60% of webmin including virtualmin).
I am looking for (code to)
I am looking for (code to) "Home Page" link to www.webmin.com and version info in the header to edit.
Here...
//edit .... sorry, i wanted to give you a hint but, that is core webmin, is not part of the theme. You change it and it will be available until next update.
Line 47 in index.cgi of webmin core.
// edit You can find some dynamic code in my theme in theme.pl at line 324 .
Change favicon
Hey nice time, like it!
Can I change the favicon, and if yes, where can I find it?
theme* Sorry for spelling

Sorry for spelling
favicon.ico in images directory
There is a default favicon.ico in the theme directory *images*. Try replacing that.
You can buld an ico here http://www.favicon.cc/
MySQL Databases bug
Hey,
I noticed a bug.
If I press "MySQL Database Server" I see all my databases, but I am not able to create one, first after I clicked one DB and returned I have th eoption to create new.
The strange thing is that this only happens to users.
I as root can see everything normal.
not working?
for me, with ubuntu 13.10 and webmin 1.660 , the theme isn't working... or am i the only one? :(
I'll check that in a few moments.
Webmin 1.660 on my servers and it is ok. How did you install webmin ? Manually or deb ?
thx for the quick
thx for the quick answer.
installed from .deb
do u think reinstalling webmin could solve the problem?
webmin without your theme isn't really 2013 .. :D so i would try that..
It works!
ok. i reinstalled webmin and now your theme is working!
thanks again for your quick response... and thank you very much for this amazing theme!
login logo
hey. now the theme works like a charm. but one last thing, the loginscreen doesn't show an logo. but i think, neither has the original theme.
can u please tell me where the loginscreen logo is located?
Logo.
theme.pl line 846, css property:
background: url($logo) center 12px no-repeat;
where $logo is defined at line 775 .
Change the filenames / paths to fit your needs.
Theme on Ubuntu 13.X
I confirm, it's necessary to reinstall Webmin for the theme works (I'm on Ubuntu 13.04), but after it works perfectly, great work !
Thanks a lot ;-)
Cloned custom commands modules all have the same heading
Hi Adrian,
I've been using your theme for a few months now and it's great! :)
As the number of custom commands I have created has grown I've split them into several screens by cloning the "Custom Commands" module. I have four now.
Everything works, but all of them say "Custom Commands" in the header at the top, so there's no visual confirmation of what module you're looking at (apart from the particular custom commands present on the page, of course).
Is there any way to set the header individually for each clone? Or is this a core webmin limitation?
Thanks!
Dan
I dont think this is on the theme side.
But on your cloned modules side.
For example by cloning your module you also cloned the info of the module.
name=Quota
desc=Disk Quotas
category=system
Go to your webmin path (usr/share/webmin) and search for your cloned modules, then edit the info file of each module by changing the name / desc / category parameters. (REMEMBER TO BACKUP FIRST)
Then refresh your modules list at server.url/webmin/index.cgi (on the bottom of the page).
Access your modules and check if changes have taken into effect.
Only one module.info file
Hi Adrian,
If you clone a module you don't get additional module.info files. You just get a symlink pointing to the original module:
In the "custom" directory there's only the one module.info file, which contains this field:
If I change this to another string it works, in the sense that the header visible in Webmin changes. But it's the same header for all four clones...
Thanks,
Dan
You just answered yourself a question.
"you don't get additional module.info files. You just get a symlink"
Make a copy of the module and edit it.
That's only half of the story
Hi Adrian,
I was actually wrong in my previous update: changing the "desc=" field in the module.info file has no effect at all. I've tested so many combinations I got confused.
To get this working I had to do two things:
&ui_print_header(undef, $text{'index_title'}, "", "intro", 1, 1);
with this:
&ui_print_header(undef, "JMeter Control Panel", "", "intro", 1, 1);
The $text{'index_title'} bit goes and collects the name from somewhere, but I never did work out where. It's not module.info, because whatever I put in there makes no difference.
Thanks for your help!
Dan
login-screen and sidebar.
and an amazing thing would be
and an amazing thing would be to display the CPU and memory graph from "Historic System Statis"-Module (RRDTool) inside the sidebar.. or is this even possible?
Great theme!!
Hi Adrian,
Thank you so much for the theme. I'm quite new to this changing theme thingy. I'd never changed the Webmin theme before, so please excuse my ignorance. Does it includes all the links in the Webmin and Virtualmin?
The DB Admin (port 12322) and Shell (port 12320) doesn't seem to go anywhere. Am I supposed to install some other modules?
Also in the default theme, there's a section showing the monthly bandwidth usage of the top 10 servers. May I know where I can see those in your theme?
Thank you so much again!
Josh
Hey Josh
I can't speak to a lot of your post. But "The DB Admin (port 12322) and Shell (port 12320) doesn't seem to go anywhere. Am I supposed to install some other modules?" is something I could have a stab at! :)
This theme is designed to run on Turnkey Linux and TKL servers all have Webshell (aka Shell-in-a-Box) preinstalled and configured to be available on port 12320. Most of the TKL appliances also include a DB which (where available - depends on the DB in question) have a DB web admin UI (e.g. phpMyAdmin for MySQL, phpPgAdmin for PostgreSql, etc) which is preconfigured to be available on port 12322.
So if you want to make use of these links then you will need to install the relevant software and configure it to listen on the relevant port. Alternatively you could just install TKL and have a go with that. Out of interest, it is built on Debian (Wheezy in the current build) and has quite a bit of useful software preinstalled (e.g. Webmin plus what is mentioned above). The only thing that might trip you up if you do have a go with TKL is that Webmin is configured to listen on port 12321 (rather than the default 10000).
Yo Jeremy
Thanz for the long reply!
I found myself here when I was searching for webmin theme. I don't use TKL so your explanation clears a lot to me! I'd install webmin/virtualmin on a clean install on the cloud. And this theme is real cool since I'd been staring at the default one for the longest time!
TKL is similar to Bitnami eh?
No worries
TBH I've never used Bitnami but from my understanding yes they are somewhat similar. I think the approaches are a bit different but ultimately trying to address similar issues.
where is turnkey-blue.gif
where is turnkey-blue.gif ??
Nice!
Thx,
The best Webmin theme i've seen so far!
Theme Webmin
Excellents themes! Merci
.wbt for installing in Webmin's-Interface
Hey. Maybe you can add the .wbt for easier implementing of this theme?
Once it is installed, it can be exported with Webmin - and then reimported.
For anyone who wants the .wbt file of this theme:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B81QzCCqll85bjBrRTlRQThEV28/edit?usp=doc...
awesome
wow, its look great!! good job sifu :D
icon spacing
Where can we change the icon spacing on the category pages?
Say from 25% to 20% so more icons fit in a row...
Thanks....
I think is hardcoded in the templating mechanism
It spits out a table with 25% width.
A fast hack would be to float the elements and overwrite all with css.
table.icons_table td, table#mods td
