See attached screenshot, taken in Opera 9, Windows. The table is also too wide in Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6.

This is not something Garland-specific, it happens in lots of (narrow) themes.

Sure,
but I think in the default theme we should solve this somehow, e.g. make the main (center) part overflow: scroll or something.

The default theme should be a theme that's as good as possible for administration and usability, as it might be used as admin theme on sites that have a different theme for the front end that is not suitable for administration.

You are right ofcourse. I just wanted to note that this is not a garland-specific bug. I think an easy way to fix this is to give the admin pages a minimum width. Correct me if I am wrong though.

Title: "Themes" table too wide » reducing font-size?

This is the solution I usually use to solve this problem with fixed size themes but you have to deal with the fact that text inside tables become smaller.

table {
		width: 100%;
	font-size: .85em;
}

Anyway, I agree that we can't leave this as is in the core theme just cause it use to happens.

Hm. I wonder if we really need to fix this? There is an "Administration theme" option now; simply set Garland as your admin theme and Minelli as your site theme.

Actually, I'm having the same problem with Garland itself.

As soon as you have any theme in the list that's placed in the sites/all folder (as all custom themes should be), the table gets a lot wider because of the longer path.

The attached screenshot shows the theme administration page in Garland (not Minelli), HEAD install, 2 sidebars, Opera 9 with a resolution of 1024*768.

As you can see, the page is nearly unusable.

To change the theme settings, I actually switched to the No-CSS-Mode that Opera provides, because it wasn't possible otherwise.

As I said, the default theme of Drupal should be a good administration theme, as it might serve this purpose on sites that have an own theme for the front-end that itself is not usable for administration (maybe because it's specifically developed for the front-end part).

This is a problem that should be fixed in the core. The solution I would like to propose is to rearrange the items in the theme listing tables, as displayed in the screenshot attached. Just by moving the theme name and address over the thumbnail, we're saving a little more than the space required to fit most "minimal"-width themes.

Upon further consideration, the paths should not be displayed outright. Instead, they should either be truncated to a certain number of characters and linked to, or the path should be shown in a textbox (where the entire path can be displayed).

Component: Garland theme » user interface text

This is a UI-problem, not a Garland/Minelli bug..

(Why isn't there a "user interface" in the components dropdown? Only "user interface text"?)

Component: user interface text » system.module

System module provides this table, so adjusting component.
