A new backend skin is available for TYPO3. It is called "NDSU Default TYPO3 Skin." Soon it will be implemented as the default skin, but in the interim you can opt-in to try it out.
Procedure to opt-in
- Log in to TYPO3
- Go to the User > Setup module (at left)
- Look for the SKIN section and change the drop-down menu to "NDSU Default TYPO3 Skin"
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the UPDATE button
Important new features
- Larger icons
- Larger default fonts
- Resizable fonts, even in the Internet Explorer browser
- In IE, use the View > Font size menu to change the font size up/down
- In Mozilla/Firefox, use CTRL and + (plus) or - (minus) keys to change the font size up/down or use the View > Zoom menu
- A collapsible page tree
- Hover your mouse in the left-middle area of the page tree and observe the tall/narrow button that turns dark green. This button toggles the page tree in/out to give more room for editing pages
While this new skin is in the testing phase, I encourage you to send feedback on the skin so that important modifications can be included in the upcoming release or that features you like aren't removed! :-)
