The pop-up menu said good-bye. The default admin theme of XOOPS Cube Legacy 2.1 doesn't have the pop-up menu. All of menu is showed in the side menu. You can open and close a menu of each modules by clicking [+] icon or [-] icon. Yes, you don't need to move your mouse carefully to move the cursor on the pop-up layer.
Menu of XOOPS2 JP has been divided to some modules. You may use ActionSearch while you aren't good at Cube Legacy. By ActionSearch, you can search the keyword you input, from menu of the control panel and help. Try inputting 'User', you will get some menu about user management.

'Theme management' is good for you. Or, you may select it in the preference.
The module management in Cube Legacy lists installed modules only. To install new modules, you have to visit the 'Install module'.
The concept of blocks is one of the most changed features from XOOPS2 JP. At first, you have to know that blocks have gotten 'Install' and 'Uninstall'. When you install new modules, new blocks of the module are listed in the uninstalled block list.
Also, the custom block has the concept of install. To create your custom block, click the 'Add Custom Block' link in 'Install block'.
Blocks are deleted if you uninstall them. You can install them again anytime. To delete your custom block, you need to make it uninstalled once. Next, delete it in 'Install block'. Blocks of the module are deleted when you uninstall the module.
That's changed all. And, that became more useful. (Developes think so. How do you think?)
Well, you can send mail in 'Mailjob management'. The mailjob is new concept in Cube Legacy. A mailjob has the mail body and the send list. At first, you have to make the send list by the 'Search users'.
