Download now
After some long hours picking graphics and colours I have my Webmin theme at a point where it can be used. It features a completely new graphical look, high colour icons, dropdown menus and an AJAX search tool for locating Webmin modules quickly. It has been tested in Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.

Say thank you with a donation
Bandwidth unfortunately costs money. To help me out with this if you download the theme and like it feel free to make a donation in my tip jar (PayPal) by clicking the button below.
Thanks to those of you have already made donations, it is greatly appreciated.
Installation
To install open Webmin and browse to Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Webmin Themes
Select the downloaded archive from your local disk and press the Install Theme button.
Once installed change the Current Theme dropdown to StressFree Theme and press the Change button.
Note: This will change the default theme for Webmin but will not effect users who have selected a personal theme. If you have enabled the StressFree theme as the default yet find it is not applied check your personal theme settings:
- Category -> Webmin -> Webmin Users.
- Select your username (e.g. root).
- Open "User interface options" and ensure the "Personal Theme" field is set to either "From Webmin Configuration" or to the specific theme name (StressFree).
Screencast
Screenshots only go so far when it comes to illustrating what this theme does. The screencast below demonstrates the theme's drop-down menu and search functionality.
Fantastic, thank you
Threw some $$ your way. Thanks very much for all the effort you put into building this.
Cheers.
Error in footer of custom commands
After a clean install (no altering done) there is an error in the footer of the webmin page while using the custom commands. Is there a fix available for this error?
Error - Perl execution failed
Cannot recreate
I cannot recreate this error and given the supplied information there is no reason why it should only be occurring for the Custom Command module.
Make sure you are using the latest version of the theme and a current version of Webmin.
Support for Virtualmin?
Hey, does your theme come with support for Virtualmin as well?
If it does... I'm looking forward to using this :)
Not at present
VirtualMin is not currently supported due to the way this Webmin extension has been implemented. A significant portion of the VirtualMin user-interface and logic is implemented within the default VirtualMin theme rather than in standalone modules. As a consequence, if this theme were to support VirtualMin it would have to replicate all of the logic that is buried within the default theme.
From my perspective this is too much work to achieve and maintain. The moment the VirtualMin developers shift the bulk of their logic out of their default theme and into a standalone module I will look at supporting it.
Problem on shutdown page
Hi,
i like the stressfree theme very much. But in the current version (and perhaps one or two versions before) i recognized a problem:
I have a direct link to /init/shutdown.cgi and there a very strange thing happens:
I only see a part of the top menu, the page sourcecode ends with:
The problem still shows up after reload, cache cleaning on latest Firefox and IE. Changing back to webmin default team solves the problem on the shutdown page. Additional information: webmin language setting is german.
Check your Webmin error log (miniserv.error)
It looks like something is causing a Perl error to be thrown.
Can check the logs to see if there is anything suspicious. Could you also email me with a full HTML dump of the problem page.

Hi David, thnaks for your
Hi David, thnaks for your reply.
where can i find this error log?
Check your miniserv.conf file
The location of the Webmin logs is defined in the miniserv.conf file. In the majority of Linux Webmin installations you can find this file in /etc/webmin.
I feel silly :)
I checked all logs in /var/webmin but there where no suspicios entries. So i went back to shutdown.cgi just to see if there are some other hints. And now its working, ununderstandable.
Before reporting the issue i checked on multiple browsers, changed webmin themes to default und back to stressfree and the issue was reproduceable.
I'm sorry for wasting your time, but the issue seems to be gone magically...
this theme is pretty cool but
Support for VirtualMin is not possible at this point in time
Unfortunately VirtualMin cannot be efficiently themed as the developers require too much VirtualMin specific code to be placed within the theme layer. This is caused by a decision to place significant amounts of VirtualMin functionality within the theme layer, rather than in standalone modules.
This current configuration makes supporting VirtualMin impractical as including all this VirtualMin logic would grow the theme codebase by a factor of 4+. It would also mean any VirtualMin changes would need to be tracked in the third-party theme. This sort of effort just isn't justifiable, plus the third-party theme will always be playing catchup to the official VirtualMin release.
This situation may change in the future as a VirtualMin developer is modularising the VirtualMin infrastructure and exposing its functionality via AJAX. If this initiative matures and becomes part of VirtualMin, then third-party theming will become more practical, although still not as straightforward as a vanilla Webmin theme.
Problem
Check your Webmin theme version
If you are not using a current version of Webmin you will need to disable the new menu system by following the instructions here:

How to create custom field in session_login.cgi
Hi,
I just want to create 1 dropdown list in session_logic.cgi for user to select the language option.
just like this:
$clang = $gconfig{'lang'} ? $gconfig{'lang'} : $default_lang;
print "<tr> <td><b>$text{'lang_lang'}</b></td>\n";
print "<td><select name=lang>\n";
foreach $l (&list_languages()) {
printf "<option value=%s %s>%s (%s)\n",
$l->{'lang'},
$clang eq $l->{'lang'} ? 'selected' : '',
$l->{'desc'}, uc($l->{'lang'});
}
print "</select></td> </tr>\n";
But I could not retrieve the value of field 'lang' in this page?
I tried the following but no working:
$in{'lang'};
How to do this?
Thanks
Sorry, language support isn't my thing
It is best that you consulted the Webmin documentation for any questions on language support as I know next to nothing on the subject. You could post your question onto the Webmin development mailing list to see if anyone can help you out there.
Great theme, thanks for
Just perfect Looks
The code is open source
You are welcome to modify the theme if you are technically inclined. Just head over to the Google Code site to get the Perl and underlying CSS/images:

Thanks for sharing your hard
Cheers Jeremy
Thanks for the donation, it is much appreciated.
Thanks
Theme loses CSS
I'll look into it
I had not tested the annoymous user case, my guess is Webmin is denying access to the external CSS file because the request isn't authenticated.
Pages that are wider than the page break the theme but there isn't much that can be done about this I'm afraid given the way things hang together. In theory the module creators shouldn't be generating HTML content that fits within a reasonable container area.
How can I make this theme
good question!
Google Gears
That's a mighty big hammer for a small problem...
The problem is the overhead of adding Google Gears support would outweigh the bandwidth benefits. The graphics themselves are small in size and there is no Webmin functionality that could make use of Gears without significant alterations.
That being said if the Webmin guys were to rewrite the underlying system so that it was web service centric you could do some really cool things. e.g. If you could make system changes offline and then when you reconnect have them sync to your server(s). Unfortunately that is a lot of work and would require a complete rewrite of the core and supporting modules. However if the time was to be put in interface developers like myself would have a lot more opportunities to do things with Gears, Flash, Silverlight and any other RIA technology you'd care to name.
Gears again: done.
- i add 2 more javascipt files to javascript directory,
- create php script to make manifest file and
- gears.css at root folder.
- also a readme.txt in the root folder as installation guide.
you can download or use it directly (for trial) from http://design.ebali.web.id/theme-stressfree-gears.wbt.gzplease read readme.txt before use it.
for others who also download it, this theme is released without warranty at all, use it with your own risk.
best regards, dwi
Thanks
I will test this out over Christmas. If it doesn't cause issues I will include the changes in the theme.
Gears support added in version 2.0 of the theme
The Gears support contributed by Dwi Kristianto has been incorporated into version 2.0 of the StressFree Webmin theme. For more information checkout this post.
gears is simple... ???
Beautiful theme guy!!! A Very
WOW,
WOW
Thanks
Thanks for the support Chris.
sidebar does not work with new webmin module
Check the validity of your HTML
This is almost certainly caused by an error in your generated HTML. Ensure that all your HTML tags are valid and correctly closed.
If it helps send me through the generated HTML from your module via the Contact link above.

Webmin and/or Usermin
The theme is running nicely in Webmin, but is not active for Usermin ? Did somebody know why ?
Thanks for this nice work guy

Theme for Usermin
Patch to hide the new style 'table#altlogout' used in =>1.390
In Webmin 1.390 a new style is introduced. 'table#altlogout' shows another (new) logout-button in the maincontent-area.
In my opinion this is unwanted and should be fixed.
Here's a small (and maybe dirty) fix. In theme.css add the following:
/**
* Hide the extra logout-button (altlogout) introduced in Webmin 1.390
*/
table#altlogout {
display: none;
}
HTH... Greetings and thanks for this great theme,
Mischa.
Thanks will commit next week
Thanks for this patch, I haven't done any testing with 1.390 but when I get back from holiday next week I will commit this.
Regards,
David
Really a great Theme
Thank you!
Displaying Domain Names in Apache and BIND Modules
I too am so impressed with your theme that I work in it every day, and have donated ... but not nearly enough I'm sure.
One quirk: when managing multiple domains in both the Apache and BIND modules, on other themes the domain name is displayed immediately below either "Virtual Server Options" (in Apache) or "Edit Master Zone" (in BIND). Not so in the stress-free theme? Is anyone else finding this, or is it just my installations?
I notice in the HTML the domain name is there in a div (id="maincontent") just before the hr tag (id='post_header_hr'), it just does not display.
Fixed in version 1.93
I have fixed this bug in version 1.93 of the theme as well as adding some extra icons to Apache and Bind to cover the virtual host functionality.
Webmin theme error - OS X Server
Hello,
I installed your theme on Webmin 1.370 on OS X 10.4.10 and unfortunately I am running into an error. I get this error (after the login screen) Undefined subroutine &main::theme_prehead called at /Users/administrator/Desktop/webmin-1.370/web-lib-funcs.pl line 5896.
It seems to be caused by the normal webmin sidebar (on the left) showing all of the categories, etc. still showing instead of letting the StressFree tiger theme do the work.
Please email me ASAP. Thank you so much!
Sorry this seems specific to OSX/Webmin
Unfortunately I cannot really help you with this question as it would seem to be specific to OSX and your installation of Webmin rather than the theme itself.
I have a few OSX systems but they are all production machines that I cannot afford making changes to. Normally I do Webmin testing within a virtual machine but OSX is about the only operating system that does not allow virtualisation in its license.
Given that it sounds like the default theme sidebar is being displayed I would try clearing your browsers cache just to check that isn't causing an unforeseen issue.As far as the error goes it doesn't look like the theme itself is causing the problem (the error mentions Webmin's core library file).
Sorry I can't be of further assistance.
Webmin update to 1.380 fixed the problem
Thank you for your reply. I updated to 1.380 and then reapplied the theme and it seems to work. Great job on it and thank you once again.
I agree with the poster
I agree with the poster below who asks for Virtualmin type theme.
I'll go with the current theme.. but once there is support on your theme for Virtualmin, I switch immediately. :)
Good luck, and thank you!
Virtuamin
Will there be any continued work on the Virtuamin (GPL/Pro) module stuff?
I really love the theme, but wish it focused on the Virtuamin stuff a bit more, as the Virtuamin theme does - having easy access to all the module functions is really useful, and some things seem a bit unclear in this theme, for example the subheaders under each domain are just the same as normal text so don't really stand out. Support for the Pro version of Virtuamin would be useful as well.
Still, a really nice theme, thanks a lot for making it!
