Give the Drupal Administration Menu a new look
The Drupal Administration Menu module is really nice. It gives you quick and easy access to all administrative meny items and integrates with the devel module. I use it on all the sites I work on.
I’m not to fond of the default look so here follows what I have done to change it. The new css and background images are available for download.
The default look is black and transparent.
A bit to black and transparent for me and the text size was a tad small also I thought. With some alternative css and new background images I changed the look to this.
It looks better to my eyes at least :-).
Below you can download the new css and background images. It’s probably easiest to add this to your theme.

Howto add alt admin menu to theme?
I'm obviously new to Drupal b/c I don't know how to add this excellent improvement to my Drupal 6.5 theme. Do you mind posting the generic or, even better, the specific steps I must take to add your alternative to the admin_menu look? Thx!
Download the *.tar.gz file
Download the *.tar.gz file and unpack it. Place the css file and the three images in the folder of your theme.
Open the *.info file for your theme and locate the css section. There you add the following to include the css file:
stylesheets[all][] = admin_menu_alt.cssApplied changes ... no change
I made the changes you directed and also ran cron, update, cache clear, logged out, cleared browser cache, and even tried "Wipe & Rebuild" under the Administration Menu. The admin_menu still looks the same ... black opaque.
What steps would you now recommend?
Thank You ... Admin_Menu looks great now!!!
Plz ignore my attempted post from earlier in the evening. The direction you gave worked perfectly and exposed another error I had in my theme-ing. My admin_menu looks great now. I love the alterations made in the look. Thanks again!
