📁 New Structure Created

/css/admin/
├── variables.css (66 lines) - Theme configuration & CSS custom properties
├── layout.css (244 lines) - Admin container, sidebar, navigation components
├── forms.css (251 lines) - Form fields, buttons, and input styling
├── status-messages.css (189 lines) - Toast notifications & status indicators
├── user-management.css (219 lines) - User tables, roles, and management UI
├── walk-sheet.css (302 lines) - Walk sheet preview, QR codes, print styles
├── data-convert.css (215 lines) - CSV upload and data processing interface
├── nocodb-links.css (135 lines) - External database integration cards
├── cuts-shifts.css (197 lines) - Cuts and shifts management interface
├── modals.css (310 lines) - Modal dialogs and email composition
└── responsive.css (717 lines) - Mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints

Benefits Achieved

  1. Better Organization: Styles logically grouped by functionality
  2. Improved Maintainability: Each module is focused and self-contained
  3. Faster Development: Easier to find and modify specific components
  4. Consistent Design: Centralized variables ensure design consistency
  5. Easier Debugging: Issues can be quickly traced to relevant modules
  6. Future-Proof: Modular structure supports easier updates and expansion

🔧 Technical Details

  • Original File: 3,011 lines in single admin.css
  • Refactored: 11 modules totaling 2,845 lines + 16-line main import file
  • Backup: Original file preserved as admin.css.backup
  • Compatibility: No changes needed to existing HTML - refactoring is transparent
  • Import Structure: Main file uses CSS @import for clean module loading
