Sorry, I didn't mean to link to the login screen. You can actually enter anything you like into the username/password fields.

I agree that the elements I complained about above are still present in this template, but I find it less garish than most of the other that I have seen and it isn't as slow as the one posted in the main link.

I been through (what feels like) hundreds of these admin templates recently and the one I linked too was the one that I settled for in the end. You can see a plethora of these types of templates on Themeforest's site: http://themeforest.net/category/site-templates/admin-templat...

EDIT: I just realised that someone else posted the Themeforest link in the comments here. Apologies for the duplicate.
