I removed the fixed table width ( 690px if I remeber ) and added two <div> called admin_content_wrapper and admin_popup_wrapper and set the widths using CSS. For the upload tables that have fixed width headers, I used percentages. Having everything in CSS makes customizing the admin pages much easier.

If your working on a website, chance are you have the editor open full screen because the small view port (640px) is useless. I don't have a real preference on the top or left-side menus.

I'm with motox on this one. I regularly remove or reset the 690px table widths to about 900px. More elbow room once you start listing creation and modified dates and user info on the list.
So far it's working well for my clients. I just need to remember to make these changes after each update.

Yea, I used perl to search and replace all the inline attributes with css styles. It took about 5 minutes but I wouldn't want to do it on every upgrade.

Long term I want to support skins (or "themes"), so you can choose a ui style, tweak an existing one, or create your own. We have a number of steps before we get there though.

I'll see if I can clean up the inline styles a bit before the next release.
