I remembered a few posts a little while back where people were complaining about the (relatively) plain look of the vB control panel, especially when compared to the UBB control panel.

I've always had a slightly altered control panel for my vB, so as I was applying my modifications to the 1.1.5 version today, I thought I'd share it with everyone else.

The functionality is identical, although some hyperlinked controls have been replaced with forms (in particular, long lists such as the list of templates have been replaced with multiline <select> elements)... In use, this version produces html pages of about the same size as the original version, sometimes smaller, and is very quick and intuitive to use.

Anyway, here's a few little screenshots, and a link for you to download the modifications if you like them.

<download link removed pending...>

To use this, simply upload the files in the zip archive into your forums/admin folder, overwriting the existing files. You will want to backup your original files first... just in case.

If Jelsoft want to include this modified version with future pre-2.0 releases, just go ahead and include it.

Cheers all. Enjoy :)

Wow, the gifs look nice!

Isn't there something in the license agreement about distributing vB...

The screens do look nice though :)
Maybe 1.1.6 ;)

I'll remove the link for now and email the zip to someone at Jelsoft, who can decide its fate.

Then wouldn't all hacks be disturbing the coding and being redistributed?

I think the problem is complete .php files of vBulletin are being put up for download, albeit modified to look different.

Exactly. Hacks are generally instructions on how to modify your code, like 'find this: jaigbe. after it add: gerighkiu'.
