AFAIK you can include a custom CSS file as part of the skin. So you could 
override the styles via a custom extension.

What makes more trouble is the bad resizing behavior in Chrome (iOS?). This 
makes it impossible to really work with on a mobile phone.

I think tables are already big enough to not get problems, but I have not 
tried yet.


The re-skinning (in terms of technique) of the backend (e.g. by removing 
ExtJS and using jQuery) and a mobile friendly "fluid" layout which is 
responsive enough to work on all devices is a task for the agencies and not 
so much for the individual contributors.
At least I do not think that we currently have many contributors that really 
want to create an HTML framework for the backend.

Ingo played around with a backend skin based on bootstrap a year ago:

IMHO the bigger (or smaller) agencies should get the hands together and pay 
a few coders to recreate the backend based on a responsive design.
