Description

Current django admin looks very old. Needs UI/UX improvements for users to make interface more enjoyable.

Suggestion is to make admin look like new djangoproject.com site - green/white clean theme.

While I don't disagree some work could be done to improve the look, Trac isn't the place to discuss this idea.

If you are a designer and want to take this task on, please introduce yourself on the DevelopersMailingList. Try searching the archives for "admin redesign" first to catchup on past discussion.

Thanks!

Please be aware that basing the admin UI on the website design is going to make it very hard to keep the visual identity of Django separate from the software, making it a no-go.

Instead we shall find a solution that is equally visually disconnected from Django's brand as the current admin skin. I'd recommend researching the various 3rd party attempts in implementing separate admin skins and find a common denominator.
