I know a lot of people that have upgraded to WordPress 2.5 have all flocked to the Fluency Admin plugin, but many people probably didn’t know that you can also change the color of your dashboard to a more “classic” WordPress look from within your dashboard. This was added for people that are slow to accept change.
All you need to do is go into your “Users” tab and select “Your Profile.” Once that is done, you should see the following:
Here you can select the “Classic” radio button to change to a darker and more familiar blue color. This change is only saved for the individual user, so other users logged in will need to log in and make the change as well if they want the classic look.
Hopefully future versions will contain more options, but for now, it is at least nice to have a choice!

Thanks for releasing this version. 
I tried the fluency plugin for a while but I didn’t like the color scheme from it and eventually went back to the standard WordPress panel.
BUT…
I hated the new 2.5 theme, thanks for pointing out how to change the admin colors, I knew you could but didn’t know where the heck to find it.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for pointing this out to me. The classic colours make my wordpress 2.5 working experience a bit more acceptable.
I’m kind of liking it with the classic colors, though I think once Fluency Admin is updated to work with all the plugins I use, I will probably use that.
That is a cool little trick!
Have not played around with 2.5 enough but I do not see why the huge cry about it is. Yes something do not work but you expect that with upgrades and a lot of plugins for free…
Thanks. I totally forgot how to do this.
