 * You will definitely be turning off Fluency for a while if you pull the trigger
   on the new upgrade right now. My temporary loss is definitely your informational
   gain.
 * PS- the newly tweaked WordPress dashboard is *okay* but Dean’s plugin was still
   far superior IMO.

 * Agreed. It does not work right now with the 3.3 new update installation of WordPress.
 * It looks like it is just a few minor tweaks in the CSS of the menu and some new
   css that needs to be over ridden in the newer system.

 * I have a work around for those who would like one until the plugin’s author can
   update.
 * Basically all this does is override Dean’s and WordPress’s css.
 * You will want to add this into your functions.php file of your theme or if you
   run a network of sites (like i do) you will want to put this in a custom plugin
   that you can put in your plugins folder or your mu-plugins folder. Either one
   will will work.

 * If you’ve turned off the plugin and want to work within the new css to accomplish
   something like the default fluency implementation, give this a try:
 *     ```
       //Add to functions.php or, ideally, include in a plugin.
       function like_fluency_css() {
           echo '<style>
       		    *,body {font-family: helvetica, sans-serif;}
                   img#header-logo{display: none;}
       			#adminmenu div.wp-menu-image {float: left;width: 1px;height: 28px;}
       			#adminmenu .wp-menu-image a{display: none;}
       			#wp-admin-bar-wp-logo{display: none;}
       		    #adminmenuback, #adminmenuwrap {background-color: #222;border-color: #444;border-right-color: #ddd;}
       			#adminmenu li.wp-menu-separator {display: none;}
       			#adminmenu div.separator {border-color: #0e6ac8;}
       			#adminmenu a.menu-top, .folded #adminmenu li.menu-top, #adminmenu .wp-submenu .wp-submenu-head {border-top-color: #444;border-bottom-color: #000;}
       			#adminmenu a {color:#fff;}
       			#adminmenu .wp-submenu a {color:#777;}
       			#adminmenu a:hover, #adminmenu li.menu-top>a:focus, #adminmenu ul.wp-submenu a:hover {color: #fff;}

       			#adminmenu li.wp-not-current-submenu:hover>a {border-top-color: #000;border-bottom-color: #000;}
                   #adminmenu li.wp-not-current-submenu .wp-menu-arrow {border-top-color: #000;border-bottom-color: #000;background: #000;}
                   #adminmenu li.wp-not-current-submenu .wp-menu-arrow div {background: #000;border-color: #000;}

       			#adminmenu .awaiting-mod, #adminmenu .update-plugins, #sidemenu a .update-plugins, #rightnow .reallynow {background-color: #464646;box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);color: #FFFFFF;}

 * I have not tried nsantillo’s solution, but that may be more like what you’re 
   after if you’re trying to continue to use fluency until it is updated.

 * Hi mmattner. You are correct what I have above is if you are still using Fluency
   Admin.

 * I have deactivated Fluency Admin because of it’s incompatible with wp3.3. but
   the “Howdy, username” and the link to logout is missing. Does anyone know how
   to put it back?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * tarundeology, this is an integrated part of the new admin toolbar: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.3#Highlights](http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.3#Highlights).
   Unfortunately, you’ll need to deactivate any plugin that removes the toolbar 
   as it is now an integral part of the administration interface.

 * I disabled WP Custom Admin Bar and it works.
    Thanks mmattner!

 * @ nsantillo – you’ve missed a closing } from the function custom_colors
