Looks nice but I have 2 comments for the moment:

- Almost everything in XWiki is an application and the plan is to move even 
more in this direction. Actually any app will be more and more able to 
contribute config in any area (e.g. look & feel). Hence I don't think we should 
have a category named "applications". The Administration Object should instead 
have a category property that the author can choose.

 I really don't like that the fields don't span the full horizontal space 
available. It'll be very very bad looking on large screens and waste useful and 
expensive space for nothing. Look at the Copyright and Version fields for 
example, you can't see the full content when there's space available on the 
right.

Thanks
