  The current version is for CumulusMX 3.28.1 and can be downloaded form [https://www.cumuluswiki.org/images/d/d7/AI2.zip AI2 for v3.28.01 build 32693]. Updated December 2023.


=== Features of AI2 ===
=== Installation ===


Dark Mode has been implemented and a number of dark mode themes included to match the original.  Please note that these themes are no longer compatible with the default website.
Download the above package and extract it to '''somewhere other than your CumulusMX files'''.


All pages use flex-boxes so can be re-organised simply by changing the order style for each panel.
The package contains a second zip file and documentation which you should read to understand what it does and what you can do with it.


Significant, but not exhaustive improvements have been added for accessibility.  Anyone requiring these features with knowledge of how to improve the AI2 should contact me.
Unzip the second zip file, again away from CumulusMX.  This is to ensure that you don't accidentally overwrite critical files in the existing Interface.


Page layouts have been improved and those pages with multiple panels can now be re-arranged by changing their order style in the html files.
You should now have a folder called '''ai2'''.  This can be copied as is into the Interface folder so that it is a sub-folder of the Interface folder.  You can rename the AI2 folder if you wish.


There are six master fixed width panel classes:
To use the AI, you should now use the url: '''localhost:8998/ai2/'''
* ow-oneCol: This creates a full width flex panel that still accepts children but arranges them as rows only.
 
* ow-twoCol: This creates a two column layout on wide screens that automatically degrades to one column on smaller screens.
If you renamed the folder then use the new name rather than ''ai2''.
* ow-threeCol: As it's name suggests create three columns on large screens and reduces down to two then one column.
If you access the normal CumulusMX interface from a different computer then use the IP address of the machine running CumulusMX rather than ''localhost''.
* ow-fourCol: As above but initially four columns.
If you run CumulusMX through a different port then use that port rather than 8998.
* ow-fiveCol & ow-sixCol: They do what they imply.
 
If you already have the AI running on your system then please '''don't''' try to merge the two - keep them separate as files will change with each release and this '''will''' cause you issues.  Technically you could simply create new folders for each AI release and run any of them in conjunction with the existing Interface.
