<\/a>Paper Lantern is the next look and feel for cPanel.<\/p>\n For a product with an incredible amount of depth and complexity, one of the first things we decided to do was adopt Twitter Bootstrap 3 as our standard UI kit and solid base for future work. With Twitter Bootstrap, one of the most common UI kits utilized by web professionals today, we hope that web developers and designers will be able to crack open the code and easily create beautiful, new themes.<\/p>\n Next, we began identifying and reusing elements across more of the user interface to increase consistency throughout the project.\u00a0Consistency helps users to quickly become familiar with using their cPanel account. Once a user learns one feature with a consistent layout, the next feature becomes that much simpler to navigate.<\/p>\n After we establish a sound foundation to build on, even more dramatic changes will take place that will separate Paper Lantern from it\u2019s X3 roots.\u00a0We have many, many more ideas in mind for Paper Lantern\u201411.42 is only the beginning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Paper Lantern not only introduces a dramatic change in appearance, it also requires lots of heavy lifting, even for modifications not visible to users. We are developing Paper Lantern openly, which means that you can see changes as they happen. Going forward, each cPanel release will include the latest iteration of Paper Lantern and preview builds will be released regularly to users who want to play with them. In addition, we will continue to update our demo server<\/span><\/a> frequently with the most recent changes to Paper Lantern. Check it out<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n If you are currently running a build of cPanel & WHM software version 11.42 and you do not<\/em> have a reseller account, then contact your reseller and request that your account be set to the Paper Lantern theme.<\/p>\n If you are currently running a build of 11.42 and you do<\/em> have a reseller account (or reseller privileges), then:<\/a><\/p>\n Please remember that Paper Lantern is very\u00a0alpha\u00a0in 11.42 and will be going through quite a few big changes over the new few releases.\u00a0Nothing, including the visual presentation of Paper Lantern, is set in stone at this point and we need your feedback more than ever.\u00a0Email us<\/span><\/a> or post in our User Experience forum<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and we\u2019ll see it. Let us know what we\u2019re getting right, what needs improvement, and if you have ideas about how we can make Paper Lantern even better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paper Lantern is the next look and feel for cPanel.
