Comment:
It's better not to include so many changes in one ticket. For example, the
issue of linking the header has already been proposed in #13749.
I'm inclined to avoid changing colors at this time -- otherwise we'll end
up having someone else come along and make different suggestions. I know a
redesign or reskins of the admin has been proposed on django-developers in
the past, but as far as I know there are no active efforts on this front.
If you could split the pull request into smaller parts (for example, the
width changes that Marc said looked good) that will make it easier to
review and merge.

Comment (by ryangallen):
For what it's worth, obviously design choices are a special case since
everyone has their own idea of what's best. But isn't the whole point of
open-source to have contributors come and make different suggestions?
Django has an extraordinarily powerful backend but is falling behind on
the frontend, where non-technical users are experiencing it. There are
just a handful of styling updates in this patch, but they modernize the
admin design immensely, while holding true to Django's personality. Could
be a good start to reactivating those efforts from before.
Thanks -- I'll get to work splitting up the changes.
