Responsive, platform\/screen agnostic back-end for the win.<\/p>\n
Not enough value contrast on the back-end styles for my tastes. A bit more value differentiation between the darkest gray (#222) and the slightly lighter dark gray (#333) would have been nice (say a #444). The other styles to choose from are interesting. Some are quite vibrant but again suffer from not enough value differentiation and some come across as overly monochromatic.<\/p>\n
Larger font sizes – good.<\/p>\n
The Dashboard is nice and roomy, removing some of the previous “clutter”. I still think the At A Glance should be a bit more prominent. A Dashboard is supposed to provide a useful, timely information about your WordPress installation.<\/p>\n
Appearance is quite nice – it’s very clear about what theme is active, how many themes you have, and, a good way to help users add more themes.<\/p>\n
Widgets and Menus are a pain-point and will need to be looked at in the future. With more complex sites these can be quite burdensome to use. They just don’t scale up all that well.<\/p>\n
Plugin management – well done. Good indicators on which plugins are activated and which ones need updating.<\/p>\n
Final thought: another good release, primarily backend user interface and usability focused, laying the visual groundwork for future developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
