A Django admin theme that restyles the built-in Django admin interface using Twitter Bootstrap. It requires no code modifications—simply add it to INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.admin.

Use cases

• make the Django admin look like Bootstrap
• restyle Django admin without rewriting templates
• add Bootstrap styling to Django admin forms and messages
• add drag-and-drop sorting to Django admin inlines
• inject custom HTML into Django admin change forms

When to choose

• you are on Django 1.8 (or 1.6/1.7 with older versions) and want a Bootstrap-styled admin
• you want a drop-in admin theme with zero template changes
• you need sortable inlines or custom change-form HTML in the Django admin

When to avoid

• you use a modern Django version (2.x+), since the project is pinned to Django 1.8
• you want an actively maintained admin theme—consider alternatives like django-jazzmin or unfold
• you need Bootstrap 5 or custom design control beyond theming
