wow..
The first word that come when i install this plugin.. the feel is so different comparing to default themes of wordpress
check this out ~
Updated April 1st - Fluency 1.1 has been released, it is highly recommended that you upgrade at your convenience. Enjoy.
Overview
Despite the huge overhaul that the WordPress admin interface has received its still not quite what I would really like. I had grown quite attached to the Tiger Admin theme by Steve Smith and when I found that it didn’t work with WP2.5 I was a little disappointed. But this gave me the opportunity to do something different, my own admin theme. Fluency is the result.
Features
- As of v1.1 it is fully compatible with the stable release of WordPress 2.5
- Super easy installation.
- Smooth grey color scheme (no more blue)
- Menus rearranged, main menus down left, sub menus across the top
- WordPress 2.5+ only
- Support for several popular plugins including Ozh’s Admin Drop Down menus and NextGEN Gallery. Find out more.
- Screenshots are at the bottom of this page, or you can view them at flickr.
- Note: Fluency only works with CSS2 compliant browsers (Firefox and Safari - and IE8!) at the moment. If you are using IE you can still activate Fluency, it just won’t do anything. If you’re desperate for IE compatibility (IE7 compatibility coming soon), maybe you should consider donating.
Download and Installation
It really doesn’t get much easier than this, just download the zip file (the link is at the top right of this page, after the jump for my feed readers), extract the contents and upload the whole ‘wp-admin-fluency’ folder to your plugins directory which you can find here:
[wordpress directory]/wp-content/plugins/[put fluency here]
Then go into your WordPress admin and go to the ‘plugins’ page, activate ‘Fluency Admin’ and you will instantly be using the theme. Easy as that.
The future
I will do my best to keep Fluency up-to-date with the latest stable version of WordPress. I’ve also got a couple of things in mind to make Fluency even better, and more customisable. But for the moment the main ‘updates’ will be support for additional plugins, to make sure that the plugin admin pages remain completely usable and inline with the rest of Fluency.
