Re: Txp Admin
I took some time to look at your design and compare it to what we have.
Some thoughts:
- The menus are great to navigate quickly.
- The selected menu item is an indicator for where you are, why dim it?
- A resizeable text area is often desirable.
- Too much lines.
- Did my screen shrink? 100px of empty vert. space between main text area and category menus, ca. 140px horiz. between nav menu and title field.
- What I’d be missing most is custom fields and all the other advanced options.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: Txp Admin
Status, Sort and Display, etc. should be flush left. Otherwise it looks promising. I’m wondering if maybe it’s the colours that make the interface look dated. You might want to try tweaking them or maybe go with something dramatically different.

The dimmed menu item is so that attention is taken to the actual menu items, I don’t know but I think it works really well :S
The other advanced options are further down the page.

Well I wanted to keep it as similar to the default Textpattern look as possible, I really like the simple yellow and white look of Txp, it may be a bit 90’s web rather than cutting edge Web 2.0, but it’s really easy to deal with and let you concentrate on coding rather that looking at eye-candy. x

Re: Txp Admin
Though darker (from what I memorize) it seems a lot fresher: The white line beneath the yellow helps a lot. Getting rid of the grey gradients was no loss :)
Perhaps adding the smallest amount of blue-green to the font color as well as to the menu selections?

Blue Green? hmm is that in the Txp branding. I dunno I don’t think blue green works with yellow, feel free to show a screenie if you think it will look goood. x

Nope, it’s not in the branding color scheme nor part your theme mockup :)
