Topic: Admin Panel Fluid Layout.

This is a quick fix and I've probably missed a bit. But I needed to expand the layout of the admin panel as I was finding the small area a bit restrictive.

Anyways to enable fluid mode just install Chris's "Custom Admin CSS" plugin from Extend.

http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/cu … in-css/15/

Then insert the following code under "Theme->Custom Admin CSS" 

.wrapper{
width:99%;
}
.wrapper .nav{
width:99%;
}
.wrapper table {
width:99%;
}
form.manyinputs textarea {
width:99%;
}

#maincontent{
width:75%;
}
#sidebar{
width:24%;
}

and save, then refresh your page. Viola !!

Hope its of use to someone.

Re: Admin Panel Fluid Layout.

Really nice idea, I added some little personal changes...

.wrapper{
width:99%;
}

.wrapper .nav{
width:99%;
}

.wrapper .nav li:first-child {
margin-left: 35px;
}

.wrapper table {
width:99%;
}

form.manyinputs textarea, textarea, form input.title {
width:99% !important;
}

#maincontent{
width:75%;
}

#sidebar{
width:24%;
}

.header h1 {
left: 35px;
}

Re: Admin Panel Fluid Layout.

Could this be done, but only for the editor height? (so that the Save changes button is always visible for a minimum browser height)

There is an option for changing the height of the editor in gsconfig.php. I haven't tried it but it should work.

Yes, it works. Thanks, but already I knew that. :-)

I meant fluid height: it would (dynamically) change if the browser window is resized.
