Joomla 1.0 Admin back-end for Joomla 1.5.23

This is an administrator template which gives you the look and feel of Joomla 1.0 or Mambo in your Joomla 1.5 site.  The image below is Joomla 1.5.23!

If you've not used Joomla 1.0 before you won't be aware of the much more friendly and familiar back end that it has. This was adopted from the Mambo days. When Joomla 1.5 came out it "grew up" in that it created a much more corporate look. Well, the friendly look is back! Now you can give your Joomla 1.5 site a 'makeunder' with a Joomla 1.0 back end.

If you are a long-time Joomla 1.5 user then you'll actually find it more intuitive and easier to identify the icons as they are so much brighter and a lot clearer... If you are a Joomla 1.0 user and you have to upgrade your Joomla 1.0 site then make it easier for you to migrate yourself with this joomla 1.0 administrator template.

This template installs in the usual way and when you are in the Joomla back-end just select the templates menu option and then click on administrator to view the choice of back-end templates. Simply select the joomla10 template as your default and the icons will start to change.

The icons that are 'upgraded' are all the main 48 bit icons that appear on the control panel and the 32 bit icons which sit in the toolbar on top of all the main options. The 16bit icons haven't been forgotten either. They are all included so the menu dropdowns all look just as familiar. Have fun!

The Joomla Extensions Directory (JED) doesn't like people reskinning the Joomla back-end. You have to add new functionality as well as reskinning so this template will never be released through the JED, you can only get it here. Please let others know this template exists by clicking on the Facebook like this button on the final download page.
