Here’s a novel idea for the developers, which I will repeat as long as it’s necessary:
– Use themes for the admin controls as well as the forefront.
– Add the 2.6 layout as a theme so people can customize.
– Add the admin controls to the admin theme editor. Either in the already existing theme editor or a seperate admin theme editor.

2.7 slowed me down enough that I did a rollback to 2.6.5
The entire 2.7 admin area seems ridiculously slow and grey on white just doesn’t cut it.

RoseCitySister, what exactly is better about having a layout that slows down a P4 x64bit PC running Kubuntu Linux 8.04 and Firefox 3.0.4?

You tell me that.

I did a 2.6.5 rollback and am not updating.
samboll, you’re an ass. You act like an ass and to have someone as you be a moderator for this place says a lot about the wordpress team.

Good day, I’m out.

Details would help related to Skratman’s query, samboll.
Posting ‘details would help’ makes me wonder how you became a moderator.

Here’s a novel idea for the wordpress developers, which I will repeat as long as it’s necessary:

Skratman is right.
No matter how the software is made, in the end it’s a software package in order to allow people to run their blog website the way they want.
This should extend into the admin controls as well as the forefront.

This update without alternative present to switch back to the 2.6 layout or even install an admin theme, shows that the WordPress developers, how good their intentions may be, are expecting 100% of their userbase to like it or choke on their issues with it.

You don’t understand, dream3r, that it’s not about getting used to. It’s about choice.

Proprietary software is based on “you will buy our products and get used to it if you don’t like what we did to it”. Open Source Software is about having a choice.

Well, I don’t like it.
A. it slows me down.
B. I liked the other better.
C. Why can’t it be optional?

I plain and simply don’t like it.
But I guess “because a lot of people worked on it and like it” I’ll be largely ignored.

Why can’t it be optional? It seems so simple to me to just have the dashboard stuff be a theme as well.
And when I go back to 2.6.x I’ll keep getting that “upgrade now” message which can’t be turned off. (Or I haven’t figured out how yet)

I just want the 2.7 security updates and the like with the 2.6 look and feel. Is that too much to ask?
