I would like to restyle and modernize MODX Evolution Manager.
Why modernize the Manager?
The idea for this restyling project comes from
Bringing Evo back to life again Thread.
The Plan
My plan is to make a complete restyle of MODX Evolution Login, Manager and Installation pages. At first I'll make only screenshots and wait for feedback, later when we reach an agreement I would like to make a plain html/css/jQuery/jQuery UI template of each page. I don't have the knowledge to modify the Manager myself, so someone which is working on the development side would have to implement the changes.
Feedback and help
Any feedback or help is more than welcome. Also, let me know if this is a good idea or not, meaning: is this the right way of doing this, or there are other solutions?

Manager (HTML)
Demo 1 - Try it! (tested on firefox for now):
- Main Menu, Tabbed navigation
- Tree Menu, try to expand and collapse the menu
- Tree Menu, try to expand all and see all icons I've created. Icons are on a css sprite
- Tree Menu, try to sort the site tree (the sort order does not work, just to see the popup)
- Tree Menu, try to collapse the tree frame
- Tree Menu, try the context menu
- Tree Menu, try trash bin, a popup should open (I'd like to open it on the parent frame, if possible)
- Tree Menu, "show more" and "pagination" links
- Forms
- Action Buttons
- Tabs
-
More to come...
