Override default dashboard background with theming one #23588

julien-nc · 2020-10-20T10:42:07Z

If the override switch is on, the dashboard will look for a default background in "default" directory of dashboard's appdata.

This way the theming app just has to put an image there and toggle the config switch (it's not done yet).

@juliushaertl @jancborchardt Do you think it's a good way to do that?

jancborchardt · 2020-10-20T13:46:07Z

Right, so the idea would be that theming has a setting called "Use theming background for Dashboard" and it is then forced and non-changeable by users? Or is it just the default one in that case? (I’d prefer the latter.)

lazerl0rd · 2020-10-22T20:19:42Z

Could you possibly add a "no background" (as in, theme colour) option? That would just consoldate your patch and provide a config that covers all the cases a user themself could also pick from the GUI.

julien-nc · 2020-10-24T11:38:50Z

Or is it just the default one in that case?

@jancborchardt Yes it would just replace the default one, still letting users change it as usual.

Could you possibly add a "no background" (as in, theme colour) option?

@lazerl0rd Do you mean make the "plain background" as default? Yes it would be nice indeed.

Yupp, that's exactly what I meant.

Ready for reviews?

julien-nc · 2020-10-31T14:52:06Z

@skjnldsv Still WIP. Dashboard side is ready but additional settings in theming app are still missing.

What do you think about the idea of using appdata to store the image set in theming app? Any other/better idea?

skjnldsv · 2020-10-31T15:21:00Z

Still WIP

labels and/or draft please :)

I'm not opposed to it.
Might even be faster to serve on some filesystems.
But I'm no expert 🙈

@skjnldsv Sorry 😅

So here it is after getting lost in the theming css maze 😁. Dashboard theming setting behaves just like the login image one. Delete button switches to plain color, revert button switches to the clouds image, upload button let admins choose a custom default dashboard background.

If dashboard app is disabled, related theming settings are hidden.
If theming app is disabled, default dashboard background will always be the clouds image.

Incorrect getAppValue default values were fixed too in theming app.

Theming app could be Vuetified ™️ but that's another story.

apps/dashboard/src/helpers/getBackgroundUrl.js

 	if (background === 'default') {
+		if (themingDefaultBackground && themingDefaultBackground !== 'backgroundColor') {
+			return generateUrl('/apps/theming/image/dashboardBackground') + '?v=' + time


Suggested change

return generateUrl('/apps/theming/image/dashboardBackground') + '?v=' + time

return generateUrl('/apps/theming/image/dashboardBackground') + '?v=' + window.OCA.Theming.cacheBuster

Good thing you mentioned that, there is a mistake at

server/apps/theming/lib/Service/JSDataService.php

Line 62 in e9af7b8

'cacheBuster' => $this->appConfig->getAppValue(Application::class, 'cachebuster', '0'),

Fixed in this branch. It will most likely solve many late favicon/icon/image refresh problems. Yay!

juliushaertl · 2020-11-03T10:55:45Z

Code looks good but I'm a bit hesitant to add yet another setting to the theming app. This is quite a special use case imo and I'd rather just reuse the themed login image and not allow another configuration option here. But up to @jancborchardt to decide.

julien-nc · 2020-11-03T12:00:40Z

Thanks for the reviews!

I agree we can't add too much stuff there. I still like the possibility to set a different default background than the login one. It would feel a bit less crowded if login and dashboard sections would be side by side like that:

@jancborchardt @juliushaertl What do you think?

Totally agree with @juliushaertl here – especially since there is already the ability to individually select the ones we ship as default Dashboard backgrounds, so it makes sense to just unceremoniously replace the "Default" Dashboard background with the one set by theming. :) (This would btw also help for customers, which gives a unified style by default, and based on that people can customize.)

julien-nc · 2020-11-10T11:40:39Z

@juliushaertl @jancborchardt Right, new behaviour is: If theming app is disabled or the login image is not set, no effect on the dashboard. Otherwise the dashboard default background is the same as set in theming (image or plain).

Currently, dashboard does not look good if theming is enabled and set to a light background. See #28649. Is there a way to have dark text color and dark icons for light backgrounds?

Volker-K · 2021-11-02T14:38:02Z

Why can't dashboard just use the color scheme for the application bar that every app uses?

Volker-K · 2021-11-05T10:53:54Z

Too bad that Dashboard even overrides the settings from custom-css-App.
