I think I have almost finished the Manager Theme. See the updated
Demo.
If you scroll down a little in the first tab of the Dashboard, you'll see a list of examples. You can open them and see how the theme looks like.
For Tables/Datagrid at the end I decided to use DataTables instead of jqGrid because the documentation is much better, the file is 200KB smaller and there is a strong community behind it. Also, I have found quite a few design bugs on jqGrid whereas DataTables looks rock solid in this respect. I have a backup of the theme with jqGrid, if you think that it is better.
I am also doing a prototype for a possible dashboard management (see these:
Dashboard Management,
Dashboard Edit,
Dashboard Widget). For
sorting the widgets I am thinking about adding this plugin to the theme:
http://mjsarfatti.com/sandbox/nestedSortable/ (it is an addon for jQuery UI Sortable).
I am also thinking about possible solutions to make permissions more flexibles,
see example here. I don't know if this is technically possible though.
