@cdngryphon – I think the phrase ‘admin theme’ means a theme that changes the look of the WordPress dashboard, rather than a theme to control any other aspect of your site. I so agree with you about *some* developers not using their own themes before they are released for sale.

Getting back to the ‘admin theme’ discussion - personally I love how the dashboard looks, it’s clear and intuitive, easy for the non-technical among us to use.
