width and colors of admin lists

The lists in the admin interface (article, comments, logs) are taking nearly the full width of the browser window now (r1803) . Would it be possible to either limit their width or to have some kind of “zebra look” (altering the color every line, e.g. white and light grey)? It’s not easy to find the right line in such long lines.

Re: width and colors of admin lists

Agree 100%. This would definitely be easier on the eyes

Curiously, I find it less a problem, but much may depend on the width of your window.

I agree with the zebra look, though. That would improve the readability of those listings. And it could then be added to some other tables, like ‘Images’, ‘Files’, ‘Links’. I would like to see those tables have the width as Articles, Comments, Logs.

As a stop gap measure, you could use this:
#list tr:not(:first-child):hover {background:#eee}
(works in Gecko, Safari).
Or for Opera #list tr:hover {background:#eee}

Note that this will give you a hover effect on some other tables as well, because they use the same ID.

Sure, now is a good time to send a patch.
