Second Joomla admin template

While Im in the mood for previewing up and coming releases at Joomla Bamboo I’ll give you a sneak peak at the bonus Joomla Bamboo template release that’s scheduled for release sometime in mid January. Following the success of the Simpla Admin template Ive put together a less flamboyant and simpler version of the admin theme. Functionally its not a huge departure from Simpla in terms of features eg left accordion with toggle, version notifier etc but I think the design really beds down a more mature admin interface for Joomla.

Im also in a secret discussion with Steve from Alledia to see if we can put together a free admin theme that will help to address some of the common complaints that are often placed against the Joomla admin UI. Im confident that we can help produce something that is a hackless simplification of the Joomla admin area that will hopefully improve its usability for new users … but more on that later.
