Advent Calendar 2024: Gin Admin Theme Achieves Stable Release

Staff Reporter

James Shields, writing for the Drupal Advent Calendar 2024, highlights the evolution of the Gin Admin Theme, featured on day 22. Initially introduced as an experimental admin theme in 2023, Gin has matured over the past year and now serves as the default admin theme for Drupal CMS. The theme brings a host of enhancements, including a resizable sidebar, improved integration with the core Navigation module, sticky action buttons for streamlined workflows, and full support for dark mode and custom accent colors. Achieving stable releases for both its 3.0 and 4.0 versions, Gin is now a viable option for production sites. Shields notes that while its potential inclusion in Drupal Core sparks debate, Gin’s stable release represents a significant milestone for improving user experience in Drupal. The theme is led by Sascha Eggenberger from GitLab and co-maintained by Jürgen Haas of LakeDrops.
