What's new in AP Lite for Joomla 1.6?
Besides getting AP Lite updated for Joomla 1.6, we've touched virtually every style and image as well.
CSS3 Updates
You'll find CSS3 rounded corners, text shadows, box shadows and gradients throughout AP Lite for 1.6. Using CSS3 allows us to add a little visual flare while ensuring AP Lite is still the fastest Joomla admin around.
New Icons
We've changed the Cpanel, Toolbar and Table icons over to icon sets from Web Designer Depot and Icojoy
Toolbar Buttons
Using CSS3 buttons, the AP Lite toolbar is much more user-friendly. It now has a more tactile feel and is just plain easier on the eyes.

We've optimized the Article list, Toolbar and most importantly, the Article Edit page. This allows us to shuffle things around and place important on the content. Check out the different in the layout in the image below. We chopped the distance to the article from 462px to 185px. That's almost 300px shorter!
