Hello Elky, I’d love to see this responsive design merged in Django. I’m using the admin from my phone quite often and the lack of a responsive design makes that painful.
The admin gets very few CSS changes. I don’t think we should refrain from adding a useful responsive design out of fear that it will be hard to maintain. An opt-out mechanisms for third-party apps that don’t want the responsive styles will a nice touch (but not absolutely necessary in my opinion). I don’t think a setting is appropriate. I’d rather use the template or static file overriding mechanisms, for example: - perhaps supplying an empty CSS file with the same name overrides the file provided by the admin? (I’m not sure) - alternatively responsive styles could apply only within body.responsive; the admin’s template would have a <body class=“responsive”>; third party apps could override that template and remove the class Thanks for you work on the admin’s style, -- Aymeric. > On 9 Jan 2017, at 11:59, elky <mansell...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > Few months ago I released django-flat-responsive > <https://github.com/elky/django-flat-responsive> app - a simple extension for > admin that makes interface mobile and tablet friendly.
