As mentioned a few times on the UI list this past week, we're going to be looking at a lot of things for 3.1 and admin styles/themes is one of the ones that I personally want to look at in quite a lot of detail. I have no idea yet to what extent this will be, however I'd welcome your contributions once we start to spec out the 3.1 features in the <a href="http://make.wordpress.org/ui/">UI Group</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>John</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 3 Jun 2010, at 22:02, Luke Gedeon wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Call me crazy, but it seems like the easiest way to solve the look and feel issues with the admin is to make it as easy to theme the admin as it is to theme the site.<br><br>Give designers a while and see what ideas happen.
