Joomla 1.6 development is moving right along (1.6 Beta 5 was just released). We're starting to get inquiries about if/when our Joomla Administrator Templates will be made 1.6 compatible. The short answer: some of them. The bigger picture: you should be more excited about completely new admin templates.

Stainless, our most beautiful Joomla Admin Template, has gone stable! In this latest update we've added a new light theme to the mix, straight from user requests. Also per user requests we've added the option to set the header to a normal position rather than the fixed position since some users were experiencing a lag while scrolling. Lastly we decided to include all toolbar buttons in the toolbar which is fixed to the bottom of the page and scrolls with you.
