Trying to give Alfresco a more modern look through a custom theme

Alfresco 4.2.x Custom Theme

#Introduction

This is a test to create a better UX for Alfresco 4.x and 5.x, where old YUI components are being given new style through http://www.getmdl.io (Google Material Design) directives.

Some things to keep in mind:

• The theme is not ready for production, nor is complete.
• The only page currently working (and even that is still in testing) is the /repository page
• There is no live demo available at the moment.
• Preview is available in the screenshots folder:

#Features:

• Prep for porting to Alfresco 5.x with LESS and CSS tokens (currently style is done through classic pre Alfresco 5.0.x presentation.css)
• Added support for em instead of fixed font size for some components for better readability
• Added Material Design by Google features (colors, flatness, fonts etc.)
• The color palette used can be found here: https://www.materialpalette.com/blue-grey/deep-orange
• Override of Alfresco Share Header style
• Removed a bunch of old images used as icons, now using Material icons in .png format (no svg support for now)
• New pagination style for improved readability
• New navbars for the /repository page
• Forced font-family Open Sans for most of the components (headers, navbars, tree views, category views, repository page, drag&drop component etc.)
• Changed footer styling

#Usage:

• Simply download the target/alfresco-custom-theme.amp file , copy it to alfresco/amps_share and install it as usual by running apply_amps.sh in your alfresco/bin folder.
• As said many things are broken, this is to be considered just a test.

#TODO

• Refactor all icons and images
• Grid/Responsive design
• Checkboxes
• Inputs
• Widgets
• Header Search box
• A lot of other stuff
