Hello,

Here is another WP admin UI idea (#3):
http://konstruktors.com/examples/wordpress-dashboard/03/

which is based 100% on the same markup as the original
http://konstruktors.com/examples/wordpress-dashboard/02/ but features:

* left side navigation which automatically keeps only the two latest nav
items open. Try clicking Content, then Manage, Comments. On opening
Comments the Content should collapse. This would help to minimize the
scrolling.

* 'move' cursor for widget boxes is displayed on hovering the widget's
header area. There is a small delay between the hover and when the
'move' cursor becomes visible. This helps avoid flickering when simply
moving across the page. Some people, however, may prefer to have instant
feedback.

* color ribbons for widget boxes.

* one theme color which could be one of the user settings.


The only working sections are:

* Dashboard:

* Design > Widgets:
  http://konstruktors.com/examples/wordpress-dashboard/03/design.htm


What do you think?

Regards,
Kaspars
