I don't find anything in the current layout aggravating enough to make me want to hack files and keep track of changes for future upgrades, so if anyone tries this please let us know how things go.

HTH

Okay, I thought I'd give a spin.

Either it doesn't work, or I messed some thing up. I wrote a big long post, went to click publish and nothing, same for the save button. Though it did auto save, so I don't think I'll lose my post.

As for the layout or how it changed. It does make a wider posting/write area, which I like. It also put most of the other panels to the right, which actually I don't think I like.

Big reason I am not crazy about it, is that the Publish Status area gets pushed down to the bottom of the group, I liked having it on the right, on top, and if you have a good number of categories, it gets pushed down further. Of course I could close tabs, but still have to scroll down.

I tired it on one blog and I'm going back, I was liking the new-old one..

Just my take on it.

I'm working on a new install on the latest version.
thought I would make a category for individual pornstars and feed them with BA, the side bar takes 15+ seconds to load after 400+ categories.
another thing is the category add button disa-fucking-pears from time to time.
I'm also having a hard time wrapping my head around simple tags and the built in tagging all of my posts have two sets of tags
