This is a little project I’ve been wanting to dig into for a while, so I finally took some time to do it recently. I’ve been a Textpattern user for a while, so it’s always nice to find ways to improve or add to it. I love the way it functions, but I’ve never been a huge fan of the design of Textpattern’s admin interface. I figured since I can do something about it, why not try.
I designed this theme on top of Textpattern version 4.0.5, but it’s just some changes to the CSS and images, so it should work with almost any recent version of Textpattern. You can find all the files zipped up right here: pixelspread_txp.zip. Just unzip the files, replace textpattern.css in /textpatern/, and the txp_img folder in /textpattern/
Here’s a little preview of what it looks like (click for full size):

And if you’re not a Textpattern user, here’s what the default theme looks like:

If you’re looking for other TXP admin themes, the only other one I’ve ever seen is the Jon Hicks design.
edit: Here are quite a few more themes.
I don’t use TXP, but just wanted to say that I liked the modifications you made to the Admin section. :)
It looks like your theme makes the clickable area for the tabs larger. I always thought that they were a bit small, so this is a nice improvement!
