It was a general fear for the new WordPress admin to look .. well, butt ugly. The color scheme was compeletly different, as was the general layout of the sections. While it wasn’t HORRIFIC it was pretty drab. Bright and .. well, made my eyes burn.

Jeffro2pt0 posted over on Weblog Tools Collection about the new admin and a feature that they decided to add:

Ryan started us off by announcing that WordPress 2.5 will feature two different color schemes. One color scheme will be called Classic while the other will be Fresh. Fresh will feature the newly redesigned color scheme while Classic will contain darker shades of blue and gray. Now, the only decision is whether to have Classic or Fresh be the default color scheme. So far, it looks like Fresh is winning the race. >> Read the whole article

I like this idea much better than having to dig like mad to figure out how to change things back to the tried and true admin feel. What would be nice is if they gave the admin the ability to choose which color scheme to use at installation rather than defaulting to one or the other. Granted you can change this in the admin area anyway, but it would be a nice added feature - and I assume not too difficult to throw in. But, I’m not a programmer so who am I to say!?

Also I will note that I don’t even use the basic admin for WordPress. I use ‘Tiger Administration‘ which is so much nicer, in my opinion. But that’s my opinion, which may not amount to much in the greater scheme of things!

Holy crap - a liger. Now, it sounds like the cheap Napoleon Dynomitehumor going on here, but they actually cross breed a Lion and a Tiger. This thing is freakin HUGE.

Cool .. but they’re askin for a heap of pain if that cat realizes it’s potential.

“Hey I have a cool idea! We don’t have enough predators in the world! Lets get two of the biggest together and cross breed! YES!”
