Any other navigation tutorial that should be in the list? Leave us a comment below!

I know a lot of people that have upgraded to WordPress 2.5 have all flocked to the Fluency Admin plugin, but many people probably didn’t know that you can also change the color of your dashboard to a more “classic” WordPress look from within your dashboard.   This was added for people that are slow to accept change.

All you need to do is go into your “Users” tab and select “Your Profile.”  Once that is done, you should see the following:

Here you can select the “Classic” radio button to change to a darker and more familiar blue color.  This change is only saved for the individual user, so other users logged in will need to log in and make the change as well if they want the classic look.

Hopefully future versions will contain more options, but for now, it is at least nice to have a choice!
