Hi, I am an undergraduate student studying in India and have found the idea of user interface cleanup quite interesting and something which I feel am capable of. I have 2+ years of web development in php (which involved use of phpmyadmin too). I have worked on the php frontend part of our college's flagship project Codecracker (http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in/codecracker) and have been working to improve my skills at web designing.
Some aspects of the interface that I would like to improve upon are: i) The basic framework of the UI needs to be templatized so as to make way for clean codeand this will obviously help to ease addition of utilities to the same. ii) A better looking and more intuitive approach to the SQL editor as it is often used by people who are learning SQL. iii) Also I would like to work on an editor which helps in quick browsing of all source codes in the webroot of the server, so that changes can be made then and there itself and executed. iv) I would like to cut off the no. of pop ups that are displayed as quite a lot of people find them irritating by embedding the login screen in page itself.
Also I would like to hear suggestions on more improvements.

I suppose you mean the login window, that pops up when accessing phpMyAdmin. (or after a session timeout) The login type can be changed with parameter $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']. If set to 'http', you get the popup. If you choose 'cookie' for instance, you can login using a webpage.
More info on this parameter : http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#cfg_Servers_auth_...
If your session times out, you have to login anyway, that doesn't change. But you can extend the session timeout using the parameter $cfg['LoginCookieValidity']
More info : http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#cfg_LoginCookieVa...
