 * Hello guys,
 * I’m in a project where we would use WordPress as a directory, so every subscriber
   would have an author profile, and the capabilty to write posts and modify his/
   her profile, shown as a custom template page.
 * The thing is, we would need to turn the WordPress Admin screen in something very
   different, with gradients and almost a tubular feel.
 * How could I modify dramatically the WP backend ? I now where the backend’s CSS
   are, and which .php files I should modify, so my question is if I have to little
   by little modify the core, or there’s some easier way.
 * I know there are some nice plugins to give a new esthetic layer to WP, but in
   this case I would be interested in turning the inside in almost completely different,
   keeping some essential fields, and hidding the rest.
 * If you have any idea regarding the easier way, or, by default, about some other
   CMS which would allow me a quick backend modification, I would like to know your
   thoughs.
 * Thanks very much,
