There’s been quite a lot of chatter about the new WordPress 3.2 admin interface. Some say the title at the top is so tiny that it’s difficult to read, that the CSS padding seems to be off a bit. Others are really enjoying the new update. Here are a few examples:

With a 3.2 launch hopefully on its way out the door at the end of June, 2011, I’m curious to know how the WordPress community feels about the new look for the dashboard. In case you don’t have 3.2 installed anywhere, here’s a screenshot that should give you the basic idea:
Check out more screenshots of the new admin style at tekartist.org, including the dashboard, post list, edit post, themes, widgets, and plugins screens.
It’s a little too utilitarian for my taste, but I am only one of millions of users who may actually love the new look. To be honest, when I first upgraded to the beta I thought perhaps they were still working on the dashboard and that it was probably still under construction. Something seemed wrong about the top area. I was quite surprised to find that wasn’t the case, but I am getting used to it.

I don’t like how it hides the Network admin menu, and really hate the “Add New” buttons at the top of post/page lists.
I’m not too impressed tbh. It seems like a side-step rather than a step forward.
