You can get more details, and grab Fluency 2.2 from the WordPress plugin directory here.
New features
I’ve added a couple of small features that have been requested by numerous people since the release of 2.1. You can now specify a custom width for the admin menu, this is great for people with plugins that have added a menu item which has wrapped across multiple lines. You can also turn off the fixed positioning of the admin menu, this is great for people with tons of extra menu items or for those, such as netbook users, with smaller screen sizes. And lastly you can also turn off the icons in the admin menu.

Browser Compatibility
Fluency Admin has been tested in the latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Opera, Camino and Internet Explorer. Users of Camino, Opera and Internet Explorer may experience some display “issues” to to each browsers particular css-handling ability.
Internet Explorer 6 is NOT supported. It is an 8 year old browser which has now been superseded twice. Upgrade. Please.
Internet Explorer 7 works with the exception of a few display bugs. Internet Explorer 8 works pretty well except for the lack of CSS3.

I have a problem with Fluency 2.2 on WP 2.9.1.
If set wide menu it’s not display. With slim menu (only icons) all is ok. http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6550/menur.jpg
Thanks for your hard work. It looks great and feels awesome! :)
Is it possible to add feature of being able to change the sort on post or page lists in the admin section? Would love, for instance to be able to sort my “pages” in reverse chronological vs. the WP default of latest page created shows up first on the pages admin section. Thanks!
Nice work!
Problem with “Gallery” tab in the “Media” section on edit post. Please view screenshot: http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9088/captureob.jpg Thanks!
Great theme, Robinson. Just installed it on my WP-installation. If there are any problems, I’ll let ya know!
Keep up the good work!
How to uninstall Fluency?
Fluency can be uninstalled the same way that any other plugin is, simply deactivate it in you wp-admin. If you wish to remove it completely just delete the ‘Fluency’ folder from your plugins folder.
When i look for visual of this theme, then i know i’ve fallin in love!!
nice themes!!!! regards
Your footer bar is floating above the main frame for TDO Miniforms, which ends up hiding the Save button for the plugin’s options screen. I haven’t been able to find how to adjust it in the plugin editor. Beautiful work on the admin plugin though, I absolutely love it!
I will have a look at what I can do to overcome this in the next update.
Is there a way to remove the footer bar? I can’t use your skin (I’m on a PC using Firefox 3.5.7) because it blocks the save button and other items for many pages.
Any suggested workarounds?
I’ve a problem with the navigation tabs. The toggle arrow is floating in the middle and the sub pages navigation doesn’t appear when I hover over them.

Ignore the above this. It wasn’t a problem with the theme but my ISP.
Thanks. I can’t live without fluency admin. It’s what makes WP usable. There’s one problem I wanted to report. This is the first time I’ve chosen to style the login screen and it broke the presentation badly. I was using Safari and WP 2.8.6. Basically there was a silver bar all across the browser screen that seemed disjoint from the login panel. The default non-fluency login screen seems fine.
Please see my comments below about the changes to the login styles in WP2.9. If you absolutely need to stay on WP2.8.6 then I’d suggest you download Fluency 2.1.1.
The reason I’m on 2.8.6 is because there is a problem with 2.9 as reported on wordpress.org and the patch release is still in beta. So I’m waiting for a final stable patch release. In the mean time I can live without login styles and just use fluency for the admin. Thanks.
Muchos gracias for the awesome plugin! The new icon switch option doesn’t seem to be working for me though. If I toggle it off and on my icons reappear but as soon as I go to another page in the admin, the icons are gone again. Is it just me?
Seems to work for me, although I did notice that I had to set it twice before it stuck. If you try a few times and still have no luck let me know. Note: You won’t spot the changes after you hit save until you visit another page, this is because of the order that the page loads.
I’ve tried toggling it but the same thing happens. It’s weird because the icons show up after I toggle but as soon as I go to another screen they disappear again.
CSS Error? on login page: http://s3.postimage.org/y84Zi-a89b5cc58845d671fa397e06563cfeb3.gif
Can’t get that image to load, but my guess is your still using WordPress 2.8.x. Some of the html structure was changed on the login page in WP2.9 which required the styles to be changed in Fluency 2.2.
I have found a CSS error in the plugin. Please check the second picture in this post http://www.verasoul.com/2010/02/fluency-2-2-mejorando-el-aspecto-del-panel-de-administracin-en-wordpress.html
Thank you for the fixes!
Thank you very much! Everything is working like a charm!
Hi!
I can’t to install Fluency 2.2
I use wordpress 2.9.1 but it seems to be broken (Stylesheet is missing!). How can i solve?
Thank you so much.
Nicola, I have the same version of Wordpress and it is great, working fine. You better try to delete and install it again cause maybe you havent installed it correctly.
