yep, that's a feature request, not a bug report

Ok, well - put in a feature request I guess. I don't really see what is difficult about using fieldsets and css though. And bootstrap is at the core of the system now... sooooooo.....

<form class="form-inline"> <input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Email"> <input type="password" class="input-small" placeholder="Password"> <label class="checkbox"> <input type="checkbox"> Remember me </label> <button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button> </form>

I see what you mean, but actually my admin is totally different from the core one because I think we could make it more modern looking not only in visual but also in features for newbies or not so technical users.

One thing I'd like to see is that we could be able to produce more flexible form layouts by adding a new param that would allow us to reposition the form fields in a grouped way or slimpy allowing to have two fields side-by-side or even being able to create categories in news in an ajaxed approach.

I know how to do it but if this could be a core feature it would help many others, maybe not so good coders, that could generate simpler modules through imbuilding.

After having built over 50 commercial modules to tailored solutions I think this could be a nice add-on.

It is responsive.

As far as fluid - that is a matter of taste - and as I am the sole contributor to the new UI at this point the UI pretty much reflects my taste. Thus, not fluid. I could see the benefit to a wordpress-like admin panel, which is what I assume you have in mind - and I have given you the tools to accomplish it quite easily.

So pull up a branch, and share your vision. You can accomplish this part with a simple skin

ImpressCMS is a multi-language content management system for the web. It is community-built, an open source project and based on the common web technologies of PHP and MySQL.
