django-variable-admin 0.0.8

Administration interface styling using CSS variables

This project allows changing the colors used in Django’s administration panel using CSS variables. It is an import of the code in https://github.com/django/django/pull/13435 into a standalone repository with the aims of allowing testing and maybe, in the future, allowing to use CSS variables when not using the latest and best Django version.

Usage

python -m pip install django-variable-admin inside your project and insert variable_admin before django.contrib.admin into INSTALLED_APPS.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "variable_admin",
    "django.contrib.admin",
    ...
]

./manage.py collectstatic now complains about duplicates with the same destination path. That’s to be expected.

Compatibility

Assuming that the pull request https://github.com/django/django/pull/13435 lands in Django 3.2 this package is only useful for Django <= 3.1.x.
