What I'm currently using for the ACP is a Bootstrap base. There are two SCSS files that are compiled using Gulp, combined with the bootstrap scss file, and minified into one stylesheet CSS. You can find a current working copy of that in my repository:

Most of the ACP style files are actually here: https://github.com/marc1706/phpbb/tree/ ... yle/assets

I do also agree that we should try to move forward from prosilver, something we probably should've already targeted for 3.1. There are a lot of new tools and design approaches out there nowadays. We should take these opportunities and improve the usabilitiy and overall look of phpBB on the frontend. hanakin has already put some thought into this and I think with the community we'll be able to create something that will put phpBB into the current times.

Personally I cannot see anything wrong with the current ACP - OK it could perhaps do with a "freshen up" with a change of colours. And no disrespect to Marc but I just do not like that layout.

My big concern with all of this change to styles is the impact that it is going to have on extensions - unless there is the facility to have some backwards compatibility, or an option to use the "new" or "old" ACP style then many extensions may not work

extensions are more BC by nature...The only thing that would need to be updated is the styles for the most part.

Also the biggest thing that a new theme fixes is the code for the theme as its old as *beep*, hard to maintain, and breaking everywhere!

I actually like the militaire colors of the current ACP.

It makes me feel like I login to pentagon's control panel.
