The 2.5 release dramatically changed the layout of the WordPress Dashboard. 
This plugin implements an admin theme which results in the Dashboard looking 
similar (but not exactly) to how it looked prior to the 2.5 release. This is 
implemented using CSS declarations which take precedence over those shipped 
with WordPress.
This plugin also supports Andy Staines’ <a href="http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/admin-drop-down-menus/" title="Advanced Admin Menus" rel="nofollow ugc">Advanced Admin Menus</a> and similarly 
employs CSS declarations which take precendence over those shipped with the 
plugin. The result is Advanced Admin Menus which look closer to those shipped 
in Andy’s pre-2.5 plugin. The required “click” to activate a menu remains.
This plugin has been tested (but not exhaustively) with IE7, Firefox 2.x, 
Apple’s Safari all running on the Windows platform. No other testing has 
been performed. I personally use IE most of the time but that is largely 
due to some thing I use at work which require IE.

I got the idea to do this after looking at the 
<a href="http://deanjrobinson.com/projects/fluency-admin/" title="Fluency Admin There" rel="nofollow ugc">Fluency Admin Theme</a>, 
which doesn’t support IE or I probably would have used it, and the 
<a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baltic-amber-admin-themes-and-schemes/" title="Baltic Amber">Baltic Amber</a> theme. 
Fluency redesigns the Dashboard and Baltic Amber offers multiple color choices 
for the Dashboard. After seeing how Baltic Amber loaded, I realized I 
could do something similar for the CSS declarations I wanted to change. 
It was surprisingly easy.
