Why does people tell they can do wonders and when posting a bounty they drop of the planet!

Maybe because it's a lot of work and time for current amount.
I did some improvements to package gui together with ccesario, but some steps involve in a lot of changes…
-
bump! new web gui ftw! $10
-
I'll put in another $50 but I suspect there's a way to go before it becomes worthwhile for someone to pick this up.

I've been working on something that uses fluis CSS3 and Codeigniter, i've been transfering some of the funcions to codeigniter MVC, here are some screens:
-
Not bad.
What about floating elements so drag and drop is possible….
And it can be arranged in alfabetical order as well.
-
I would like to implement that as well, I am using JQuery UI for all this, but I have not got the time lately, it would be great if some people like to chip in or even better the bounty would be higher :)
-
il throw in $20 for this. (please email me if this is ever done as I don't post much here, I mostly browse)
-
Amount of work to revamp the GUI would be to much work for one contributor if done right. Really would need 3 to 5 contributors working together. But if everyone which has viewed this thread would contribute $3 to $5 dollars each, Pfsense could have a very clean modern up to date GUI
Here's a quick sample login page with some style….
-
While it would be nice to have some improvements on usability do not over-engineer it.
Its just a webGUI for a firewall which needs to scale accros different resources of system.It is not facebook or whatever you deem modern and different scope.
-
Automatic adjustability to widescreens and beeing able to move things around would be nice!
The widescreen package sucks but are needed to get the widgets to stick.

Amen to that. I for one, find the current webGUI perfectly usable and adequate (although some pages have a few rough edges, and some config options are placed in un-intuitive places and can be a little hard to find for the newcomer).
On the other hand imho there are quite a few features / bugs relating to the pfsense core functionality (firewall, NAT gateway, VPN concentrator) that could use some developer love.

I completely agree with @ermal:
While it would be nice to have some improvements on usability do not over-engineer it.
Its just a webGUI for a firewall which needs to scale across different resources of system.The original intent of this bounty/thread was to improve the quality of the code, re-writing parts of the webgui to be better standards compliant rather than adding any features.

Sample of a custom responsive website admin backend
http://keenthemes.com/preview/metronic/index.html
Responsive admin dashboard template powered with Twitter Bootstrap Framework for admin and backend applications. Works in all major web browsers, tablets and phones.
Design concept is Microsoft Metro …... So it's Square. Could be adapted to same module/template layout as Pfsense utilizes.
-
It needs a CSS so it easy to maniplulate themes, withs and colors….
-
Twitter Bootstrap might would be the best route ….. Twitter has established common ground among developers concerning general css layout design in desktop, tablets and mobile phones. It was designed to be adaptable.
The sample link I gave ..... I can think of some really cool stuff that could be used with the (Regional Stats) display shown on the admin template ...... example: Pfblocker and Snort displaying gsp location on the global map of the blocked ip would be really cool.
Some might say that would be to much overhead, but hey when you have a full fledged desktop computer running a firewall, who cares?
-
Does it have security vulnerabilities? Is it like adding a layer on top of freebsd?
-
Its simply a CSS framework …... I have not designed a website yet with Twitter Bootstrap, it does have some jquery dependency's but I have not personally looked at any of the jquery code nor am I a security expert.
My best guess would be No.
Pfsense does utilizes jquery for the backend browser administrator GUI. If you look at the source files you will see....there are many many files and templates.
