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.
