**Ewww**, not that great, could have been better **Django** darling. But no worries, we have got many **Open Source** 3rd party libraries which can turn our **Admin Panel** into something like this:

# Steps:

* For this blog, we will be using `django-jazzmin` a third party **Open Source** library. Let’s **install** it first:
    

```python
pip install django-jazzmin
```

* It's time to **add** it in our Django’s **installed apps** list in `settings.py` file. Keep in mind that to let `django-jazzmin` override your **admin** **templates** correctly, we have to put it at the top of the **installed apps** list.
    

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'jazzmin',

    'django.contrib.admin',
    # ...
]
```

That's it, go and check out your **Django Admin panel** now, you will see a beautiful look with many customizations.
