As some may know, recently I designed a couple of new Textpattern admin themes called Prometheus and Stung. They are essentially the same theme with different colour-schemes.

The aim for these themes was to make the admin area much quicker and simpler to navigate and I won’t deny that wanted to make it look prettier too with the help of the brilliant, Glyphish icons. The themes are compatible with Textpattern 4.2.0+, they use a sprinkling of jQuery and CSS3 to make the admin experience that much nicer.

The themes use some nice CSS rounded corners

If you happen to have 8 or more items in your extensions tab, the menu design changes to accommodate them:

How the heck do I use them?

So you like these themes but don’t know how to install them, I suggest downloading and installing Stef Dawson’s amazing smd_admin_themes, then using the built in theme installer in the amd_admin_themes extensions pane.

I’d love to know what you think of them or if you have any suggestions for future updates.
