Our very own Drupal admin theme - Polpo
Posted 19/08/2009 - 7:04pm by admin
We're in the process of releasing our own Drupal admin theme into the Drupal community, the full details of which can be found at www.polpo.com.au.
The theme is designed to make content editing a clearer and more efficient process for corporate and novice users who may have found Drupal's default administration interface a bit daunting in the past. The theme is also fully customisable to set it to a client's corporate branding through the ability to switch out the logo and theme colours, and contains a handy "Fast Tasks" link block providing quick access to commonly used tools.
Currently in beta release, Polpo will be distributed for free through Drupal.org in coming weeks.
