Django Admin should really support Twitter Bootsrap

[Patrick Lemiuex]

It's about time, the django admin tool should support twitter bootstrap markups and styling. This is the third django project where I've had to deal with custom form widgets because the admin tool supports kind of an outdated layout scheme in the admin template.

This also affects a lot of third party apps as well. It would be something worth contributing to the community by me.

I am a novice here with Django.

I am trying to understand your question more deeply. I agree with your ideas.

I tried the following and it seemed to work OK, although I may not have tried all aspects.

Is this close to what you are proposing?

You don't like any of these?

Have a look at this thread on the django-developers mailing list - a lot of work is going into the appearance of the admin right now:
