WordPress Admin CSS mods

Update 2: There’s this pretty cool green-looking WP admin theme freshly posted - if you’re using 1.3-alpha.

Update: Found three more stylesheets from Not (That) Ugly. I don’t know the real name of the colors, so I’ll just say the three consists of light blue, a light shade of red, and some type of lime green.

In search of pre-made CSS mods specifically for the WordPress administration section, I’ve found a few sites that offer a couple available to all.

HeatherAnne.org
Chrysalidesque

I’m using Heather Anne’s Simple Blue theme right now, because I simply love blue. She did an great job on it, too. :)

In addition to the CSS file, she includes a slightly modified admin-header.php file, where you’re supposed to enter whatever title you want between the h1 tags near the bottom. If you just want your weblog title, insert the following wrapped in PHP tags:

bloginfo('name');

(See WP Wiki’s documentation on Template Tags)

Thanks for the links! I’ve been wondering how to jazz up my admin screens. Now, if I can jsut decide if I want Heather’s bluer version, or Not (That) Ugly’s!!!
