Doony is a series of UI improvements on top of Jenkins. Install this to make your Jenkins user experience much better.

Doony is in use at Twilio and Panic, Inc. Ping me to add your company name here.

• There's a "Build Now" button on every build page. The button will redirect you to the console output of the new build. You can also easily cancel the current build.
• Click targets in the left hand menu are much bigger (they expand to fill the available UI)
• The fonts are bigger. Way bigger.
• "Jenkins" logo replaced with a custom color and the domain of your build server
• More spacing in between list items.
• Removes a lot of the useless icons
• Replaces Courier New with Consolas
• Hover menus have a pointer cursor, indicating clickability
• Text inputs are friendlier, bigger
• Builds are zebra-striped, have more padding
• Homepage has an option for "view console output of latest test"

If you don't control your Jenkins environment, you can run this as a Chrome extension.

1. Clone this repo locally.

2. Edit the matches value of the manifest.json file to contain the server names of your Jenkins servers (see Match Patterns).

3. Run git update-index --skip-worktree manifest.json so you don't accidentally commit your manifest.json change.

4. Open chrome:https://extensions. Check "Developer mode" if it's not already. Click "Load unpacked extension".

5. Navigate to this repo and click "Open"

If you do install your Jenkins environment it's probably best to embed it in the default Jenkins styles.

1. Install the JQuery Plugin

2. Install the "Simple Theme" Plugin

3. In Jenkins, click "Manage Jenkins", then "Configure System", then specify the CSS and Javascript URL's for this theme. You should find a place to host these, on a static server inside your cluster.

   In development, you can use these URL's:

    - https://rawgithub.com/kevinburke/doony/master/doony.js
    - https://rawgithub.com/kevinburke/doony/master/doony.css
   

   You should not use those URL's for production, however.

   Here's a screenshot of the settings page:

   

4. Click "Save". Enjoy!

This will "work" against the latest version of Jenkins, currently 1.532. It may work with older versions but this is not guaranteed.

• This is very much a work in progress, feel free to file bugs/issues and I'll make improvements as I can.

• There's a pull request against the Jenkins project that should make skinning Jenkins much less brittle. Hopefully it will get merged into the mainline soon, then I can update this library.

• This project is in no way intended to slam Jenkins developers. Jenkins is awesome, and unlike Travis you never get a blank screen. They are working within a series of vastly different constraints than I am. Consider:

  • they have to support every browser/platform/language
  • any change they make will make part of the userbase angry
  • every change has to be completely open-source friendly in every way
