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.
