I love this theme, I'm using it as the admin theme on a site I'm building right now. However I use TinyMCE for the node body field, and because this theme pads the fields to the right, the text area, with all the TinyMCE toolbars etc., becomes very narrow and difficult to enter a lot of content without having to do a lot of scrolling.

I made the following changes to the styles.css file at line 497

form div#edit-body-wrapper.form-item-labeled { padding-left:0; }
form div#edit-body-wrapper.form-item-labeled label { position: relative; }

It a simple fix to enable the body text area to take up that much more space.

It would be nice to implement this into the theme, but if not I hope this helps.

I agree with this request.

Another aproach I'm implementing is having only one sidebar (or no sidebars) on the node add forms. But I have to modify the theme because the main area won't take the empty space left by the sidebars.

By the way. I could make the main area wider when having just one sidebar (either left or right) by adding this css:

body.one-sidebar div#main {
  background:#fff;
  width:730px;
  }

eldir is developed for aegir, and as such is not intended to be a standard drupal theme.

if you want a nice admin theme, i recommend checking out the admin module : drupal.org/project/admin
