Executive Admin Theme
Corporate-grade Redmine admin UI — accessible contrast, responsive layout, light/dark modes, and performance-tuned CSS.
Executive Admin Theme
Status: Planned — Phase 3 (low priority). A professional visual layer for Redmine admin and power-user screens. Not a gimmick skin — focused on readability for long support sessions, executive demos, and accessibility requirements.
The problem
Default Redmine looks functional but dated in executive briefings. Ad-hoc CSS hacks break on upgrade. Teams want dark mode for on-call nights without breaking contrast ratios required by internal accessibility policies.
Who it is for
- IT teams presenting Redmine to leadership or external auditors
- Organizations with WCAG targets needing tested contrast and focus states
- Admins who want one maintained theme instead of forked stylesheets
Capabilities
Phase 1 — v1.0
- Light and dark color schemes with system preference detection
- Responsive layout improvements for issue lists and Gantt on tablet
- High-contrast accessibility mode
- Configurable logo, accent color, and favicon via admin settings
- Upgrade-safe: no core file overrides; plugin-only asset pipeline
Phase 2
- Compact density mode for data-heavy project views
- Print stylesheet for issue exports and reports
Planned pricing
From $149/year — or included in Enterprise Suite. Themes are secondary revenue; we ship this only after core plugins stabilize to avoid CSS support churn.
