im actually sick to death of the rv theme.

i need to get my site dont before about september or october but i hate having to actually do stuff interactive on a disgusting design of a website.

i find it to hard to actually work on the site with the theme. especially the file manager. we could at least get the cpanel 11 file manager.

Maybe if you all would grow up and use an FTP client like the rest of the World, you might find it easier to "develop" your web sites. I mean really, who cares what the cPanel looks like. I hardly ever log into my cPanel unless I want to add a domain or email. From time to time, I'll check some stats but that is about it. All of my files are developed locally then uploaded via FTP.

If it is a really big problem for you to use the current cPanel theme, then please feel free to find a new host! You are welcome to continue debating the issue but it won't change anything! The theme we have is what we will continue to use. There will not be a change no matter how many people vote for it in the polls.

I thought that BuffaloHelp's reply was enough to end this but I guess not.

woops im sorry if i was being stroppy and now ur angry with me!
didnt mean for it to be taken like that.

Well, only to say that i work in a similar way as vujsa does, the cPanel theme does not have any importance, because it doesn't stops me to work with it, i understand that if you are a beginner maybe you dont know how powerful is a ftp client, until now of course.

Best regards,

I use FTP all the time, but I access cPanel regularly just to check uptimes, bandwidth and space usage, and stuff like that. I also have to manage redirects, stats and many things. I'm one of those who wants the regular cPanel too. Why can't we just have the option of both the rv theme and the regular theme?

I think having the theme selector working, and being able to switch between themes is a good idea. It means that astahost don't have to scrap the rvblue theme completely, and people can still use the Cpanel 11 theme.

Firstly, let's be honest: can you do anything with either theme that you can't do with the other? Sure, there's a slight difference in the file manager, but is that enough to warrant the resources required to get it? For those who aren't a fan of the current look, do bear in mind that cPanel isn't normally included with free hosts in any form, nevermind the one you like the look of the most.

Astahost, in my mind, provides hosting unlike any other free host out there so I'm more than happy to work with the current theme. Sure, I'd like my cPanel to look slightly more attractive, but I'd also like a whole range of other features and I know which one I'd rather get. Assuming the hosting is improved regularly, and they spend some of the money they make on improving their service, I'd rather they upgraded the server rather than gave me a nicer looking cPanel.

They got the theme selector working finally, but they didnt put in the normal cpanel theme.

i have the rvgreen one. it doesnt annoy me as much as the blue one, lol

That's right, i don't exactly when it occurs but it doesn't matters, it finally works, and also the language selector works again.

Best regards,

With regards to just using ftp and not cpanel....i acutally don't use the cpanel file manager at all...

I usually use cpanel for e-mail (because i don't get many and don't want them coming to my outlook client), and also for checking stats and such...and it just is harder to navigate through the rvskin (at least to me it seems that way), and I would prefer the standard cpanel one.
