I started making a Drupal theme out of it. I didn't complete a full featured theme after I decided I didn't like where it was going. What I have done is available for download, though. http://deekayen.net/node/800 development-request@drupal.org wrote:

I know this was originally mocked up for Midguard CMS, but the colors my friend Tuomas (known as Tigert) put together with the Tango project color palette look fairly nice.

I also posted a comment on his site about how I thought it might be neat to have a common Admin look and feel across different CMS tools. So that, once you learned one CMS, then you could find similiar functions easily in another.

This would then let people pick their CMS based on features they desired and not have to worry about particular benefits. Is this a crazy idea? Sure... If nothing else, it might be nice to utilize the Tango Icons and such (I know, we've discussed this before, not sure where it went) as a base. I also know having an "admin area" is a touchy subject with a lot of people.
The CivicSpace Theme has an "Admin Theme" setup, so it's not like it isn't possible to do with Drupal currently.
Anyway, it's early, please don't flame me too much. Just wanted to share that admin screenshot with you guys.
