Se não gosta do novo painel de administração do wordpress 2.5 tem boa solução: transforma-o.

Tem duas opções disponíveis: ou deixa-o ao estilo MAC da Apple ou instala o FluencyAdmin.

This plugin is a fork of Steve Smith’s popular plugin, WP Tiger Administration. Though the CSS for Leopard Admin v1.0 was created from scratch, the design was inspired by Steve’s work. The beautiful icons were designed and graciously given by the talented Jonas Rask.
