Baltic Amber is indeed a nice plugin. I looked at it when it was was featured on Weblog Tools Collection, but by that time I was already using Fluency with Judy's hacks.

It allows you to modify the Write panel in the following ways: - put 'Categories' and 'Tabs' as two columns right below the main text input area, - remove 'Title' label to save additional 30px of vertical space that brings the 'Categories' and 'Tabs' selection up even more. - place the main navigation bar right next to the blog's title. These are the only small modifications that I personally needed to find the new admin panel superior to the previous one.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('67575','Kaspars'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('67575','Kaspars','KJToo, you might want to take a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/baltic-amber-admin-themes-and-schemes\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Baltic Amber Admin Themes &amp; Schemes<\/a> plugin.
