Customization Options For Paper Lantern in upcoming 11.46

cPanelAdamF
Yesterday my team and I unveiled the new Customization options we've been working on for Paper Lantern. Our latest work has been pushed to our demo server - The full capability of CSS3 is now available. Your style developer won't throttle you for making them use ancient techniques. They might even purr a little when they crack open the code and see Twitter Bootstrap DOM structures to work with. Heck, you might even be able to re-use the same stylesheet-and-assets from your company website as a style for cPanel.
  • Don't like our icons? You can now replace it with one you provide...or turn it off entirely with 1 CSS rule.
  • Style directories can now be stored in version control. Simply check-out/clone your VCS repo into the correct place and away you go.
  • Theme and Style management APIs now enable the remote management of an account's Theme and Style settings. If you need to automate the move to Paper Lantern, it's totally scriptable.
  • Plugin maintainers can now deeply integrate their project into Paper Lantern, using all of the same theme and styles as Paper Lantern does. Even more is on the way, so please do stay tuned. Here's roughly what the horizon looks like: [LIST]
  • We know that it's very common for our customers to inject content into the interface so we're creating the means to do this simply and easily. Expect support for simple content (html, css, js), flash embeds, javascript single-page-applications, access to our API and more.
  • A customization control panel interface in WHM for changing common customization settings. Company name, logo, colors, support information, etc.
  • Lots of bug fixes are on the way for the mobile responsiveness of Paper Lantern. ...after that list, we get into the fun stuff like new features and workflows.

      Not yet, I'm afraid. We are in release preparation mode right now, though, so 'soon' is a reasonable expectation to have ;-)
