This was a bit of a surprise to me: apparently you can trick out, not only your blog’s front-end, but your WordPress admin panel as well.

Check out WP Tiger Administration. From their blog:

The current default WordPress administration area is functional, but I felt it could be improved. For several reasons, I didn’t want to touch the XHTML framework of the admin, but instead relied on the power of CSS2 to manipulate the presentation. The whole package has been wrapped up into a single plugin. Just install and activate. The new design will be immediately visible.

I installed it briefly and it’s a very clean, functional look and layout. Ultimately, I switched back to the default WP admin look. It all comes down to personal preference, I suppose. It only takes five minutes to install and test out though. Give it a spin and see what you think.
