Kudos to the Django team! Great to see it continue to improve. Anyone know if there are any plans to update the HTML/CSS for the Admin app? Functionally it rocks, but visually it feels like you're revisiting 2001. I'd LOVE to see it rebuilt based on Zurb's Foundation or Bootstrap. I think we'd see a lot of innovation inside the admin.

Grappelli[0] + django-filebrowser[1] = happiness. (Only gripe is it's not responsive.) [0] http://grappelliproject.com/ http://grappelliproject.com/ [1] https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser

  http://djangosuit.com http://djangosuit.com is another great one. Would love to see an updated default though.

There is at least one bootstrap application for it to make it look a bit more modern.

I would be very much in favor for at least updating to some CSS3 features and refreshing the experience. Tweak some colors and borders here and there, no total overhaul needed.

Because we want to maintain compatibility with 3rd party admin extensions which often depend on the specific markup, we've had a lot of luck with CSS-only reskinning. The markup really isn't terrible so we've made sure no Django CSS is loaded (just create 0 byte CSS files matching each built in CSS file). We then add in Bootstrap CSS+JS so we can some of the handy UI components and then our own CSS on top of that.

There's http://www.djangosuit.com http://www.djangosuit.com and https://github.com/douglasmiranda/django-admin-bootstrap https://github.com/douglasmiranda/django-admin-bootstrap Both are trivial to set up and install.

Is it possible to just re-style it with CSS
- rectangletangle 12y ago
  Yes, there're a few solid projects which do just that. Though it does use GIF's for many of the icons. It's really a very minor issue. Besides, the admin panel should generally be for internal use.

Grappelli is easy to install, and looks decent. I can live with the admin panel's dated looks, given it's functionality.
