What are the advantages of Paper Lantern?

cPanel designed Paper Lantern as a better option to x3. Paper Lantern includes many improvements including:

Bootstrap

Paper Lantern uses Twitter Bootstrap 3. This allows the creation of beautiful, responsive themes that look great on any device.

Better Design

The new design is much easier to navigate and use the interface, making it much more user-friendly.

Improved Search

A better search feature allows you to find the right content much easier, taking you straight there from the clickable dropdown results.

Notification System

New notification design makes it easier to get information on updates within cPanel, or other important cPanel alerts.

  1. Question: when I am logged in with the reseller or root password using X3, there is an option to “Switch Account” at the top that is easily accessible.  Using Paper Lantern, it is not at the top of the default home page.  Yes, it is accessible from the “Dashboard” (not sure why Dashboard isn’t the home page), but it would be nice if it were possible to switch accounts from the default home page.

    1. Thank you for your suggestion. We appreciate any feedback as it helps us to provide a better product.

      Thank you,
      John-Paul
