a new/old admin theme (which generally works now)
Hi, Seems like noone took care of doing a decent admin theme recently, but some people clearly think that a cleaned up and updated civicspace theme will do just fine. For this very reason, I picked up this instruction [1], and moved the civicspace admin theme to its own theme. Now in Drupal HEAD you have a selection to use a different theme for the admin pages, and this works nicely with it. Big screenshot available as screenshot-full.png for those not really interested :) [2]. IMHO it looks nice. The problem with this theme obviously is that it is just a half-an-hour conversion, only fixing the obvious 4.7 -> HEAD changes, without looking into cleaning it up and improving. The main admin index page for example looks bad with the new boxes improperly positioned. The reason I have done this port is to separate the admin theme from the civicspace theme, and encourage those, who needed this kickstart to look into fixing this up. Unfortunately I have no time until codefreeze to do it, so I would like to draw the attention to this progress and ask for others to help get it into Drupal. So feel free to tear this theme apart, clean it up, improve, update, do whatever you wish.

I did clean up the CS Admin theme, but never got around to releasing it. On 8/16/06, Gabor Hojtsy <gabor@hojtsy.hu> wrote:

I started an issue here which you could attach your files to:
Yep, followup on that issue. I have did some fixup on the theme in my sandbox, and posted updates there. Since this is a development list, we rather continue progress in the issue. Gabor
As per requested... http://occy.net/tmp/admin.tar.gz Feel free to do with it as you wish :) On 8/17/06, Gabor Hojtsy <gabor@hojtsy.hu> wrote:

On the admin theme: It seems to me that it would be great to have a really basic Admin theme that allows the logo and the site name to be placed in a header, content to be placed in a footer, and the colors controlled via CSS and that's about it. The problem I see is that making a site theme work on the admin section isn't realistic since things that work great on the site itself play havoc with the admin area. Is there a REALLY SIMPLE admin theme that can be used with any theme? Geoff Trae McCombs wrote:

Geoff, Bluemarine is selected by default now in Drupal HEAD for the admin theme. Isn't is simple enough? :) Gabor On Thu, 17 Aug 2006, Geoff Staples wrote:

Bluemarine. Maybe bluemarine with the colours removed/neutralized, and only two column. I usually split the entire admin menu tree into its own "Admin" menu, enable the block, and use PHP to have it appear only to those with admin rights. Further, if you don't want to have it appear on "regular" pages, you can restrict it to show only on admin/* pages. -- Boris
Hi Trae, I have reviewed this version, and it seems (mostly) just whitespace changes compared to the cs admin theme. I also see you included site specific stuff into the theme, so this is why you have not been able to release it. Gabor On Thu, 17 Aug 2006, Trae McCombs wrote:
