Current Drupal's admin UI (the Seven theme) was a great improvement but hasn’t evolved much over the last years and it starts to feel outdated and needs a visual update. Some first steps were done at DrupalCon Vienna 2017 and conclusions can be seen here → . The defined vision so far is:
Declutter and simplify the content authoring experience by driving user’s focus on the content itself, modernize the tools used for content authoring and move the meta/settings/workflow elements to a new “utility(ies)” section(s).
Although Experiments with JavaScript frameworks or modernization of the underlying theme architecture will help and we rely in the improvements it will bring, this is not the place to discuss them. We should design thinking on the user needs.
One of the next steps is to search what is going on outside Drupal’s island that we can implement. Have you seen something that you think Drupal should have? Help us collecting ideas, patterns and workflows to improve Drupal’s Usability and Interface and make it better.
Some competitors and products to look at would be:
- Wordpress
- Contentful
- Adobe Experience Manager
- Sitecore
- Squarespace
- Wix
- [More ideas?, please add others here]
To be able to process and analyze all the ideas later on it would be great to follow some patterns. We’ll need visual examples of what you are sharing because we might not have access to the product you are sharing and all we’ll have about it is what you share.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
The Ibexa content tree in the admin UI. https://netgen.io/blog/new-releases-of-netgen-stack-for-ez-ibexa
This issue is about improving the seven theme which is no longer the default admin theme. Can we close this, or, if it is still relevant, update the summary and move this to the core ideas queue?
