SpotMilk admin theme for WordPress

SpotMilkWordPress rocks as a blogging platform. It's free, fast, solid and robust. Unfortunately, the administration interface is at best a little "blah", and if I'm a bit less nice about it, just plain ugly. Apparently I'm not the only person who thinks so, since the folks over at CeprixConception have released an administration interface theme for WordPress called SpotMilk to make it a bit easier on the eyes. SpotMilk is obviously modeled a bit on Apple's Spotlight, which is fine with me since it makes WordPress look quite a bit more polished. SpotMilk updates the following:
  • New WP logo design
  • New Login/Register page
  • Spotlight-styled header image
  • New main and sub menus
  • Font and color changes in menus, titles and texts
  • Removing box styles in the WP News
  • New forms and fancy buttons
  • CSS support for other popular plugins
If you're worried about browser compatibility, don't. SpotMilk works with Safari 2, Firefox 1.5 & 2.0 beta, Camino 1, Opera 9, and IE6 & 7 beta.
