    From what I've seen after upgrading the tavern site, the revised admin is looking good. Looks more like software UI than before. I don't mind the site title being smaller as well.

    Has anyone written a plugin to revert the admin to the old look yet? I hate to say it but I miss the kewl rounded corners. If you put the two side by side and asked someone with no knowledge of WP to guess which was the more recent, I'm willing to bet they'd say 3.2 was the older version: heavier, uglier, less refined.

    Thank-you! That small title size was a problem!

    I really like the new UI, it seems a little slower but its wordpress just keeping up with the industry. Also the new theme that comes with 3.2 is fantastic!

    Actually I have noticed that in general WordPress 3.2 is quite a lot faster than before on all the sites I have tested it on! :)

    That's my experience as well.

    The WordPress 3.2 UI loads heaps quicker imo, but the font for the site title is too small and needs a slightly darker background.

    I also think a collapse menu button would be great up top somewhere also.

    So after awhile, I like how fast the entire admin area loads but the one thing that really irks me is the smaller font size across the board. I wish it were one or two pixels larger. I also think there could be better contrasting colors overall between the grey boxes and the font colors.
