New WordPress 2.4 Admin Style on the way

23Dec07

WordPress 2.4 New design

It’s maybe a little bit early, but WordPress 2.4 will contain a new backend style. Here a very first (very very rough and not finished !!!) screenshot of the user setting page.

What does this means for my plugins especially NextGEN Gallery ? I need to change the inner style because it fit’s only to the current design and therefore I will stop supporting WordPress 2.1 – 2.2 with Version 0.8x. In the next days I will release a small bugfix for Safari for the actual V7.X branch, but this will be the last release for this branch. A backend redesign for WordPress is many times requested, now a lot of plugins will not look in a good way, we will see how Matt & Co will solve this issue…

    From what I’ve seen, there won’t be much to do on the admin side if it was already compliant with WP2.3. Probably adapt a little bit the colors to fit better with the new design.
    This is how WT looks so far:

    manage

    Yeah Wordpress 2.1 to 2.2 should just upgrade it up to latest versions.
