Just FYI, not sure if these are typos or compile errors in neon-core.css, but these cause SASS compile/minify to fail due to invalid CSS.
./neon-core.css:11923: -webkit-transform: scale(0.8, ); ./neon-core.css:11924: -ms-transform: scale(0.8, ); ./neon-core.css:11925: transform: scale(0.8, ); ./neon-core.css:12160: -webkit-transform: scale(0.8, ); ./neon-core.css:12161: -ms-transform: scale(0.8, ); ./neon-core.css:12162: transform: scale(0.8, );
Hi jlar187,

Hi!, I’ve always loved this theme, just couple of presales questions: Is Less or Sass files included ? Is RTL supported in the front end too? Is it easy to globally increase the font size?
Thanks a lot.
Hi vox2day
Firstly sorry for the delay of answer as we were not in the office during the weekend.
1. It includes the LESS files, see the screenshot of files structure: http://cl.ly/Vk70
2. RTL is supported in Frontend too, see the demo:
http://demo.neontheme.com/frontend/main/?rtl=13. Since it is less compiled, you can increase the fontsize globally by changing values in assets/less/bs-less/variables.less and assets/less/neon-less/variables.less
There could be any static font size that is set but mostly there are referenced via font size variables inside these files.
Thanks

I know, I know, this may not be the best place, but not sure who/how to contact. I love your themes – and we’ve purchased Neon in hopes of integrating it to our app … however, need some help and direction – how to best integrate, setup with our database, etc etc. SO, we’re hoping that you guys – or people who you know are experts in implementing your designs – can help … custom designing and coding needed asap. Can you let me know how to contact you directly? THANKS! 
Hi bobwoehrie
Firstly thank you for your kind words and purchasing Neon theme.
We are currently busy working on other projects which actually have a deadline and we are not able to take any custom work for now, I am sorry.
As you know, Neon is HTML based theme, so you can optimize to fit to your current framework engine as you want. The structure is easy to call, and to extend the design just add your custom CSS to assets/css/custom.css or another file you may include via <link> tag.
Thanks

Hi there again, is it possible to have a form inside the top drop down menu?
I tried to add a form and menu disappears when the form is focused, i guess it is because of the menu’s behavior. I would like to add a log in form to the top drop down menu.
trying to add a simple form to the drop down menu at top-right. http://i.imgur.com/N1P9iov.pngHi swamyveera,
Here is how you can achieve this: http://cl.ly/VgkJ
1. Copy this HTML
<style>
.top-dropdown-form .form-group {
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #EEE;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
</style>
<form class="top-dropdown-form">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search anything..." />
</div>
</form>
2. Paste it right before ”.dropdown-menu-list” of the dropdown menu container see how it looks: http://cl.ly/VhF1
Hopefully this will help you.

HI there again, How can i make two panels the exact height even though the content is of different length? To be precise, i have two panels, but one panel has a little lesser content than the other and i would like to make that panel same height as the bigger panel.
and also, if i have a grid, for example col-md-3, how can i center it ? Center this DivHow can i center the col-md-3? By default it is to the left of the screen.
You may try using this jQuery plugin which makes two divs at the same height:
https://github.com/mattbanks/jQuery.equalHeightsTo center content inside a div you can use jQuery UI Position plugin: http://jqueryui.com/position/
Here is an example:
$( "#position-element" ).position({
my: "center",
at: "center",
of: "#targetElement"
});
Uncaught ReferenceError: Sine is not defined
This is a Rails app and I’m loading the minimum .js files necessary:
//= require jquery-1.11.0.min
//= require jquery-ui/js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom
//= require bootstrap.min
//= require ie8-responsive-file-warning
//= require joinable
//= require resizeable
//= require neon-api
//= require neon-custom
//= require_tree .
I just downloaded the latest version to ensure that was not the problem. same error.
Hi jlar187
Please include this javascript file in order to have this issue solved:
assets/js/gsap/TweenMax.min.js
The object Sine is part of GreenSock API that creates custom animation easing.
Hopefully this will help you.
Arlind
That works. Thanks for the quick reply.
Great

Hi there Is there a way to make the tabs ajax based? meaning, loading the tabs via ajax once they are clicked?
Thanks
Hi swamyveera
Yes it is possible, simply add events to tab titles and when they are clicked you can load it.
Here is an example:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function()
{
var $ = jQuery;
$("#panel-1").on('click', '.nav-tabs a', function(ev)
{
ev.preventDefault();
var $this = $(this);
if($this.data('load') && $this.hasClass('loaded') == false)
{
$.get($this.data('load'), function(response)
{
$("#panel-1").find($this.attr('href')).html( response );
$this.addClass('loaded');
});
}
});
});
</script>
<div class="panel minimal minimal-gray" id="panel-1">
<div class="panel-heading">
<div class="panel-title"><h4>Minimal Panel</h4></div>
<div class="panel-options">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#tab-1" data-toggle="tab">First Tab</a></li>
<li><a href="#tab-2" data-load="http://neon.dev/data/ajax-content.txt" data-toggle="tab">Second Tab</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="tab-1">

Hi, how can I show datatables toolbar? When I try to enable it in this theme it seems to set display: none for the whole header. I need a refresh button!
Hi dijichi,
The default configuration for DataTable is this:
jQuery.extend( true, jQuery.fn.dataTable.defaults, {
"sDom": "<'row'<'col-xs-6 col-left'l><'col-xs-6 col-right'f>r>t<'row'<'col-xs-6 col-left'i><'col-xs-6 col-right'p>>",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"oLanguage": {
"sLengthMenu": "_MENU_ records per page"
}
} );
Which can be found on this file: assets/js/dataTables.bootstrap.js
To modify the toolbars (header and footer) edit this field:
"sDom": "<'row'<'col-xs-6 col-left'l><'col-xs-6 col-right'f>r>t<'row'<'col-xs-6 col-left'i><'col-xs-6 col-right'p>>"
So when you initialize it just do this basic call: http://pastebin.com/X7wgJenE
It will generate the exact table as shown here: http://cl.ly/VfSV
Hopefully this will help you somehow.

This pointed me in the right direction, thanks!

Hi,
Can the single license be used to use the theme in an admin page of a wordpress theme which will be sold ?
Hi themeyard, the single license can be used only for personal purpose and not for re-selling, for commercial use you need to purchase the extended license.

Hi.
First of all, i simply love the theme. I tried many others, but keep returning to this one.
I have found some issues with the neon-form.css file. My developer tool keeps telling me thisInvalid CSS property declaration at: *It does that 25 times, on different lines. I search google for it, but can’t figure out if i just can remove the * sign. Do you have any fix for that?
Hi Mautone,
Thanks for your compliments we are happy to hear them!
About the CSS inconsistencies we use LESS generator to compile the CSS so during the LESS validation I get no errors, its the engine of LESS that generates CSS, so is it possible to know the exact line where the error is thrown?
Thanks again!
Arlind
selector { *background: #ccc; }
This is because of some older browser hacks used in our CSS, anyway I have used RegExp to replace the :
*background... -> background...
Here you can download this file:
http://cl.ly/VhE2This is not a big issue, browser CSS parse simply ignores invalid CSS properties.
Hopefully this will help you.

Thanks for this awesome theme. Im using it in a rails app but am lost in all the JS and placing all the JS code in my /app/assets/javascripts folder didnt work
I only need the code which controls the sidebar (enabling dropdowns for subnavs and the show/hide toggle button on mobile devices)
Would you mind helping me find where the code that controls is so I can pull it out and place it somewhere else in my project so the sidebar animations will work
Thanks!
Hi mbax
Thanks for your kind words. I have tried to create the minimal load version of Neon and here is the file hierarchy in JS that is necessary for it to load.
http://cl.ly/VbDIIf you want, I can send you the files to download, just give me the email
Cheers
Arlind
Thanks Arline, can you help me isolate the code that controls the sidebar in addition to the files? So far I have extracted what you see here
http://jsfiddle.net/xY665/and it allows the submenus in the sidebar to open but not close. Also when you resize your screen from desktop to mobile or visa versa the text disappears as shown here
http://imgur.com/ptV0DW9Can you help me find the code which allows you to close submenus and keep text visible as you resize your window?
Thanks!
Also, when there are two dropdowns in the sidebar they dont open, it only works when there is only one subnav list in the sidebar
Hi mbax,
I suggest you to keep all the contents of neon-api.js so it wouldn’t cause any issues.
I have edited the neon-custom.js and this would be the minimal version: http://cl.ly/Vd52 other files do not need to change.
Hopefully this will help you.
Arlind
Noticed a slight bug? In a modal I added in the date picker field however on select/focus the datepicker popup window shows behind the modal grey div and is not accessible.
A quick fix for anyone having this issue is to throw this into your custom file..
.datepicker{z-index:1151 !important;}
Hi geekybeaver,
Thanks for your suggest, I have added this fix which will be available in the next update.

Hi, thanks for a great template; I am loving it so far. I just had a question, which I feel should be straightforward, but I am still a beginner with css.
My question is: what is the recommended way to increase the height of the header bar, so that the main page contents starts where the header ends? I am using the “page-container horizontal-menu” classes.
Thanks for your help,
Hi StaticNomad,
To increase the general height of Header sidebar you must play with padding values, for example the current padding for Logo element is 20px top, 20px bottom so if you are going to increase the padding of header here is the sample CSS code:
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar .navbar-brand,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar .navbar-nav>li>a,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar .navbar-inner>ul>li#search .search-input,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar>ul>li#search .search-input,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar .navbar-inner>ul>li#search button,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar>ul>li#search button,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar ul.nav>li>a,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar ul.nav>li>span,
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar ul.nav>li.sep {
padding-top: 30px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
.page-container.horizontal-menu header.navbar ul.nav>li.dropdown>a {
margin-top: 30px;
}
It will increase the header height to look like this (with the given parameters):

Hi there! There is a problem with the bootstrapSwitch in “Switches – Checkbox & Radio”, the off color does not change, looks like there is a problem in you css declaration.
Do you think we can get a fix?
Hi scuty,
I am not sure about which switches do you mean exactly, can you send me a screenshot and I will send you the fix.
Sorry for the delay of the answer.
Arlind
Go: Forms > Basic Elements > Switches – Checkbox & Radio > Colors.
For the “Off” state color, in your example, there is a different color setting then the default (gray), but it’s ignoring the setting value for the “Off” state. First I thought it’s a component issue, but it works fine with the default css files of the component. I think you override some style values for the right side of the switch.
If you want to change the color for the Off state you can do this simple:
.has-switch span.switch-info.switch-right {
background-color: #FFF;
color: #000;
}
Is this what you wanted?
Arlind
I’ll try it tonight. But I think that might be it.
I hope so it will 
I am using selectboxit for select dropdown, but the option data gets hide when the option text is long.
Hi Customer3Sixty,
Can you try this fix and see if it works for you:
.selectboxit {
span.selectboxit-text {
white-space: nowrap;
width: 85%;
display: block;
}
}
Arlind
Cannot use width as 85% because it may create problem in the different size browsers. There is a class called ‘selectboxit-option-icon-container’ inside the class ‘selectboxit-btn’ which i have removed, as it is not required there. It is working fine now in the different browser sizes.
Now the problem is that, if i have a selectboxit of 150px in width and the data is long than the box, the data gets hide, i want to break the data into the new line.
The reason why it breaks because the divs are floating.
The only way is to make these div containers display: table-cell and the text will not hide, but whenever the text exceeds the limit of container, it may break the structure of the grid and overflows.
Do you prefer using ”...” ellipsis when the text is too long?
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/truncate-string-with-ellipsis/Arlind
Yes, i use ellipses, but in dropdown i have to show full text. When the text increases, the text should continue in next line with proper line height.
In this case: http://cl.ly/Vbsa when user opens the dropdown menu text will be visible, otherwise in the default selection I think its not a big problem if you overflow the text with ellipsis, just a though.
Dont have an idea for other solution regarding this plugin!

Adding a modal dialog inside main-content makes page unusable. There is a gray overlay and modals only work if they are created outside main-content – any suggestsion?
Hi swamyveera,
Modals must not be wrapped with main-page container, so add them right before the ends, otherwise modals will not work properly.
Arlind
Yes i figured that out Arlind. But in my case, its a complex web application and modules are loaded dynamically into the main-content. It is not feasible to add all x number of modals into the bottom. Any solution to this?
I suggest you then to use a JavaScript code to move the modals out of the main container, you can do this easily with jQuery for example:
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
jQuery("body").append( jQuery(".page-container .all-of-your-modals") );
});
Hopefully this will work for you.

Hi. Is there any way to make the datepicker plugin working inside a modal? When I put a datepicker inside a modal, it appears below the modal window.
I´ve changed the ”.datepicker” class to enforce a high z-index and worked, but when I scroll the modal (in case of long modals), the datepicker does not scroll together, it stay fixed on the same position.
Hi cjanuzi,
Sure there is a way to initialize the date picker inside a modal:
<a href="#" id="link-that-opens-the-modal">Show form</a>
// Script
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($)
{
$("#link-that-opens-the-modal").click(function(ev)
{
jQuery('#modal-with-form').modal('show');
// Initialize the datepicker inside the modal
var $datepicker_el = $("#datepicker_el"),
opts = {
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy'
};
$datepicker_el.datepicker(opts);
});
});
</script>
Hopefully you will have an idea how it works now.
Arlind
Hi Arlind,
Unfortunately, the provided solution didn´t work. I´ve shared a link with an image of the problem:
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/4s2hk/deuhI look forward to a solution.
Hi cjanuzi,
Now I have clear what is the problem, try this fix:
.datepicker.datepicker-dropdown {
z-index: 10000 !important;
}
It worked for me!
Sorry for the delay of the answer.
Arlind
Hi Arlind.
I’ve changed the z-index for .datepicker-dropdown and it worked. But when I put it inside a long modal, the datepicker does not “scroll” together.
I’ve attached a image again to illustrate what is happening:
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/4s2hk/e934Thanks again and sorry for the incovenience.
The problem is that “fixed” position must be removed from body I guess in order to make that dropdown sticked to the field.
Set
.modal {
position: absolute !important;
}
And see it it works.
Arlind
Very happy with the template so far!
Here’s a small question: What’s your recommendation to place a “button” with text and/or icon in the “panel-options” div in the right corner of a panel? Attempts so far failed because <buttons> do not align well and <a class=”btn”> hides icon and text (color problem). Thanks in advance.
Hi Neoos,
Thanks for your words!
There is a way to add buttons inside panels tabs titles, this is the markup:
<div class="panel-heading">
<div class="panel-title"><h4>Minimal Panel</h4></div>
<div class="panel-options">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li><a href="#profile-2" data-toggle="tab"><span class="btn btn-primary">Second Tab</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#profile-2" data-toggle="tab"><span class="btn btn-info">Second Tab</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#profile-2" data-toggle="tab"><span class="btn btn-danger">Second Tab</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
And the result will be like: http://cl.ly/VUyf
Hopefully this will help you somehow.

Any idea when the next update will be available? I have started a project and would like to get a ballpark on the update time.
Hi fluentd,
The new update for Neon will take some time as we are currently working on some new theme so when they are finished we will release new Neon update, I guess it will take 30 or 40 days. I am sorry for this.
