DataBridge 2: css issue with messageContainer and black_overlay

If I have a long list on a page and click on delete button, is necessary to scroll down the page to see the pop-up message (see screenshots in attachment).
To fix I have changed these instructions, from:
----------
.black_overlay { display: none; position: absolute; top: 0%; left: 0%; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: black; z-index: 1001; -moz-opacity: 0.8; opacity: .80; filter: alpha(opacity=80); }
.messageContainer { display: none; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 1002; text-align: center; height: 100%; #position: relative; overflow: hidden; }
---------

to:
---------
.black_overlay { display: none; position: fixed; top: 0%; left: 0%; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: black; z-index: 10001; -moz-opacity: 0.8; opacity: .80; filter: alpha(opacity=80); }
.messageContainer { display: none; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 10002; text-align: center; height: 100%; #position: fixed; overflow: hidden; }
---------

I have changed "absolute" with "fixed" for "position", add "left:0" for messageContainer and z-index with more high value (e.g. to avoid conflict with the sidebars that usually use the same values).
I also suggest you to change icons for the buttons "delete/update/detail" with svg (or use font-awesome), with retina/uhd display is better.
Finally, the css styles generated from DataBridge are too old, flat design is now the new standard... see Bootstrap 4 to understand what I mean for "flat design" (maybe could be a great idea if you create a style compatible with bootstrap).

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll get the overlay css updated right away and look into how we can improve the overall css and icons in the future.
