It's all about how WB uses and controls the frontend. But when the backend looks stunnings too...
Well, i'm sure WB can use something like this to get more users.

Yes, you're absolutley right.

As I spent endless hours on creating a backend theme on my own, I know that there are a lot of things which could be arranged better in the backend. I have some sugestions to make, but, in short: you made a very good job on this.

The way 2.9 is arranged is very similar as it was until now (as far as I know).
The are changes of some {PLACEHOLDERS} and template parts, so one thing needs to be done: all the *.htt files must be rearranged again.
But I can't tell too much because I didn't have seen the new files.

All I can say, you're on the way to make it.
And I hope the devs will take the opportunity to make it happen.

Kind Regards,
Stefek

I know what you mean. I think i've had at least 10 versions made for BW's backend. Just to fit what i want or would like to see. WB for me is based on simplicity. Even a little child could handle WB i think.
And this simplicity should allways be there in WB. But it could be more simple and more better and more faster.
I'm really sure about it.
I'll just wait on what the Devs think about this. Meanwhile, i think about releasing another theme one of these days.
I have a different theme somewhere and i think it can be used as an approved theme as well.
Have to look for it and will install it on the demo site as well.

This motivates me more as i thought. Nice that you guys likes it

Very nice template and the true words you write.

I wish you much fun with the DevTeam to convince them, hopefully there is not the bureaucracy in the way. Javascript is devil's work in the backend and the user loves rudimentary surface once a developer told me.    :-D :-D :-D :-D

Yes, me too.
The only reason I never published a theme is, that the themes (inner *.htt files) changes from version to version.
This is annoying.
I don't know it the devs follow my suggestion to make use of partially a kind of a 'core-theme' with the possibility to overwrite those files on demand. There is a german thread on this topic.
I heard one day they will split it that way, but it won't be the 2.9.

But this isn't a hold up to keep on doing this.
One day it will be done and this will save a lot of time for both - developers and designers.

And of course, as you said, there are still some things to do to make the backend even more accessible (easy) for end user experience.
Often the backend sensation itself is a vital argument to stay whith a cms or keep searching for another one.

WB should be that way that anyone's willing to stay ;-)

Kind regards,
Stefek

Looks great, Dave. Chapeau!
Would be nice to have this sexy option in the back end.
