Nerdery CP Theme
Brian Litzinger released a simple theme for the ExpressionEngine control panel.
It’s a very slight tweaking but perhaps enough to help take the edge off the default CP theme.
This is intended to be a simple revision of the default CP theme. It lessens the rounded corners, removes the pink (images too), and cleans up a few mis-guided pixels. It is not intended to be a full CP overhaul, just a redux. Click the Skitch link to see some screenshots.
Learn more about and download the theme: Nerdery Theme (GitHub page).

A slight issue in IE 8:
CP navigation items all have blue backgrounds by default, i.e., when not being hovered over.
Seems like it should be a simple thing to fix. Any ideas?

Think I solved it.
In the override.css file, at about line 488, I changed this block:
#navigationTabs li.parent a:active,
#navigationTabs li.parent.active a
to this:
#navigationTabs li.parent a:active,
#navigationTabs li.parent.active a.first_level
Hope that helps someone else!
There are still some weird flickering issues with the overlapping triangle on the third-tier submenu, but it’s acceptable for me at this point.

Thanks for the mention! I probably should put in the readme that I have done zero testing in IE. It should be fine in webkit and FireFox though.

Conflict with CP analytics.
Love this theme - its basically the first thing to add when starting a new EE project
But i’m having a problem when using CP analytics, which also is a must for me.
In Add-ons -> Accesories it creates a php-header error and in the CP analytics accessoy in the footer the css is really messed up.
Any ideas on what causes this?
