 * I’m writing a plugin for WordPress.
 * I wonder if it exists some kind of overview of what kind of CSS-classes and such
   that are available in the backend GUI?
 * Does WordPress have a built inn grid system?

 * I wish they did. All the info I can find seems to focus on how you can add you
   own custom styles. Not how to utilise standard admin styles. How do you set up
   forms? Is there a grid? Etc. etc.
 * There has to be some kind of layout built into WordPress, I don’t need to create
   a custom theme.

 * Do you mean adding tabs and options to the admin section or just styling it?
