Didn't Asymptomatic or someone create a "Downgrade" plugin or something that
would give the wp-admin a more 1.5x feel? I can recall seeing the plugin but
can't remember where...

See below.

Try  disabling JavaScript and see the outcome. I consider the way this  is
handled  to be extremely graceful. I hope it has the right effect on  your
eyes too. You can specify scripting policies (e.g. JavaScript off) to just
the administration panel or install an alternative dashboard theme, if any
have been ported to version 2.0 yet.

I can't say I agree, but there is nothing to prevent you from changing the
colours  in  the code. Perhaps more people would indeed share your  senti-
ments.  I think it is the first time that greyscale was set aside and more
graphics got embedded in the page.

I  believe this was only mentioned about 2 weeks ago. Ryan brought this up
in  the  wp-hackers  if  I recall correctly. There  are  some  significant
changes, I believe, as roles and capabilities were revised.

In fact, let me just search...

Look at the thread at the top. It's an old one nonetheless.

No-one is distracted, I hope. There are usually a few subscribers who dis-
courage  high  volume of messages as theyinclude minor questions,  all  of
which  are  posted  to the mailing lists. That should be harmless  if  the
right filters/client gets used.

Best wishes,
