Aquila Admin Theme


I loved the elegant simplicity and the admin bar reinvented.



With most items aligned right and the Screen Options and Help Tabs incorporated into the the admin bar, the result is simply brilliant.



That said, there's some code running amok in the plugin, a couple of minutes after I installed it, my debug log file grew 1.5MB, after 20 minutes, it was 50MB...



There is a preg_match running non-stop and giving this notice:



PHP Deprecated:  preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #4 ($flags) of type int is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/aquila-admin-theme/admin/colour/lessc.inc.php on line 3401
