With the much anticipated upcoming release of WordPress 2.5, a lot of people are nervous about the new WordPress admin dashboard that we’ve heard some bad reviews of. I personally have seen some demos and I’m not overly enthusiastic about the changes either. Luckily we’ve got a great WordPress community!
Once you’ve made your WordPress 2.5 upgrade, if you find you are unhappy with the new dashboard, you now have the option of using a WordPress plugin! DeanJRobinson has released a new WordPress plugin for WordPress 2.5 called Fluency Admin that will create an incredible dashboard for you to use. Here are some screenshots:

I’ve gone ahead and uploaded this plugin so it is an option once I’ve made my WordPress 2.5 upgrade (hopefully this week!). Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Fluency looks great! And I like that it only changes the css.
I have installed this plugin, but I’ve got blank on my Dashboard. Other links work well. Overall, it’s nice new look.
(note: somebody can help me with this error/bug?)
I used WP 2.6, Can I use this plugin?
