CPL Redesigned

Posted in Design Notes, Post-It Notes at 6:27 pm by Chris

There, it’s done. I’ve made the updates to the Control Panel Login page. I’m thinking it’s perhaps a little heavy yet, but I’m going to leave it that way for a little while. I’m, as yet, undecided on what I should do to thin things out a little. My main point of concern is the images I’m using to the right of the username & password input fields. At present, they are the major attraction, and I’m not sure that I don’t want them to merely be an accent instead.

At any rate, until I can come up with a better solution, this is what I’ve got:

The interesting thing that I’ve added to this particular page is a dual-css setup for the positioning of the different elements that makup the username & password section of the page. Using a PHP script I found atthis php site , I am able to determine which type of browser (ie or non-ie) my user is using, and have PHP output the appropriate stylesheet include.
