  v0.4.63 — Settings card polish & themed form chrome Pre-Release

  mward4 released this 2026-05-26 02:32:38 -04:00 | 38 commits to main since this release

  OpenPXE v0.4.63

  Three UI fixes operators flagged on v0.4.62, plus the queued PXE-theme
  research note for the next release. No backend behaviour changes.

  Settings card alignment

  The SSO header now sits in the same 4-column grid as the Administrator
  account card above it — display name / IdP logo URL / Metadata source /
  IdP metadata URL, column-for-column aligned with Current password /
  New username / New password / Confirm. Previously the SSO row used a
  3-column grid that didn't line up with the 4-column row above and the
  metadata URL hung underneath in its own row.

  When the operator picks "Metadata XML" the URL column collapses out and
  the multi-line <EntityDescriptor> textarea drops onto its own
  full-width row below — there's no way to fit a 6-row textarea into a
  single grid cell without making everything around it look stretched.

  Enable-single-sign-on checkbox now actually paints

  <meta name="color-scheme" content="dark light"> in index.html was
  telling the browser "default to dark form chrome on a tie" — which
  forced the SSO enable-checkbox to render as an opaque black square in
  light mode regardless of the accent-color CSS hint. (Specs are
  specs: accent-color only repaints the check mark, not the
  container.)

  Two things land in v0.4.63:

  1. CSS color-scheme tracks data-theme directly — dark when the
     OpenPXE theme is dark, light when it's light. Overrides the meta
     so the rest of the native chrome (date pickers, scroll bars) also
     follows the active palette.
  2. The checkbox itself is now custom-styled — 16x16 rounded square,
     accent fill + tick on :checked, hover ring, focus glow. Chrome,
     Firefox and Safari now render the control identically across both
     palettes; we no longer depend on whichever WebKit happens to honour
     accent-color.

  Dropdown affordance restored

  With -webkit-appearance: none on inputs and selects (used to bring
  password/text inputs to a consistent baseline), the native dropdown
  arrow disappeared on <select>. That's why "Metadata source" looked
  squished — there was no visible cue the field was a picker. v0.4.63
  paints a chevron back in via a data-URI SVG (themed light/dark) and
  reserves 30 px of right-padding for it.

  Spacing under the action buttons

  Update credentials and Save SSO settings now sit with explicit
  margin above them so they no longer butt against the input row above.

  Queued: iVentoy-style PXE menu theming

  docs/queued/ipxe-pxe-menu-theme-research.md captures the design for
  the next release:

  • iVentoy uses iPXE's console --picture with baked-in per-resolution
    PNGs (1024×768 default, plus 1280×1024 and 1920×1080 selectable in
    its Configuration tab). No EDID auto-detect — daemon-side resolution
    pick.
  • The same primitive is already wired in crates/http-api/src/ipxe_script.rs.
  • Plan: extend the existing pxe_logo.rs compositor to emit
    per-resolution framed PNGs with title bar + footer painted into the
    background, then console --left/--right/--top/--bottom insets the
    iPXE menu into the framed window. This lands once the
    IMAGE_PNG-enabled iPXE rebuild ships on native x86_64 hardware.

  Container image

  • gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/openpxe:0.4.63
  • gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/openpxe:latest

  linux/amd64; static-musl /openpxe binary unchanged.

  Quality

  • 142 tests passing (unchanged from v0.4.62).
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.

  Compatibility

  • Existing deployments upgrade in place. No data-file format changes;
    auth.json, branding.json, sso.json, hosts.json, meta.json
    all read identically.
  • Browser cache-bust from v0.4.62 carries the new asset URLs into
    every session without a hard refresh.
