These are cool . I have only tried Tiger Administration so far .
Cool themes, 1, 6 & 7 looks good, i will try one of them for a change. Stumbled
I liked them all except the last one, nice list.
Nice collection. BTW I am waiting for the new Admin dashboard which will be coming with Wordpress 2.5.
It is coming on March 10th.
@Madhur,
Tiger is so far the most popular one.
@Ram,
Thanks for the Stumble.
@Manas,
All are waiting for Wordpress 2.5.
Well listed out! I will try them.
Nice list. I used Tiger for some a while back. But I went back to the default design - some plugins don’t work well with these themes.
Thanks for the list. Never knew about anything other than Tiger Admin…
Pretty cool themes out there. Never tried any of these. WP Tiger Administration seems to be best of those. Going to give it a try right now….
@Ashwin,
Welcome.
@Rakshit,
WP tiger Admin is the best one of the lot with support for latest version of Wordpress.
All this time I’ve been using the default theme but these admin themes look too good to resist. You’ve convinced me to try them out haha. Thanks buddy
@BrownBaron,
Even I too was using default theme for long time. The only problem with these themes are that they support only in Firefox and Safari.
Thanks for list …its time for a change now
I also happen to know about the WP Tiger only but Nirmal what do you mean by that they work only in Safari and Firefox. If these are browser dependent and not work in IE?
@Jawwad,
These themes wont work in IE or other browsers except Firefox and Safari as they are not CSS2 compliant.
very nice themes but I am also worried about plugins not working properly as pointed out by Binny…but how how are dashboard themes related to plugins?
Looks cool…but I am just waiting for Wordpress 2.5 and I loved the interface which I saw in the demo site…
@Rajesh,
I’m not sure how plugins will have problems when this is installed. But this will work only in Firefox and Safari.
@Joel,
I think you are the first person to like the new interface, general talk its that the interface is just average.
Cool Themes
Nice! It’s useful if you want to spice up the boring ol’ dashboard.
Thanks for compiling this list. I’d only heard of and used Tiger Admin. Which for some time now seems to has a display issue at the bottom of the admin interface… the footer floats up too high. So I was looking for something that is not broken in this way… perhaps in your list I have found the answer.
