Access
Update 17 Dec 2009
From today onwards our free Access Theme for activeCollab will be available for download via our new Members Area, and not via this page any more. We’re doing this because we will be better able to update and maintain this theme under our new ActiveCollab Themes section. I hope this won’t be of much an inconvenience.
Thanks, Leon.

Access is an activeCollab (aC) theme that has been created to offer users something a little different. Using web 2.0 influences, Access is designed with a soft, easy to view interface while still highlighting important events and actions to the user.
Features
- Wide layout – Access uses more of your screen space.
- Colours! Colours help view different activities – including comments, tickets, completed tasks etc.
- Streamlined dashboard – Improved to see more ‘at a glance’.
- Highlighted pined objects – Highlighted in red text to show its extra important.
- Plus LOTS more…
