RootCandy - Drupal administration theme

Rootcandy screenshotOne of the biggest drawbacks with Drupal is the admin section, at least that's what most my clients says. It's hard to navigate, it looks just like the rest of the site, and don't have the "you're in the admin section" feel to it.
This has changed with the the RootCandy theme for Drupal 6.x

RootCandy is a Drupal theme designed just to be used as a administrative theme, and it does a great job at it. This is the first time I have seen a theme built just for that purpose, but I don't think it's going to be the last.

So, you want to know how you can pimp your Drupal installation with this awesome administration theme? Guess what, I'm going to tell you.

First off, download the latest RootCandy theme.
Upload it to your sites/all/themes folder.
While logged in as a your super user on you Drupal site, go to the Administer page, and under Site Configuration click Administration theme. Select RootCandy and press Save Configuration.
Enjoy!

I prefer checking the box Use administration theme for content editing to keep the content editing pages clean.
