IMHO, this seems like a rediculous use-case against the development of a consistent admin UI. While there may be many among us who run numerous Drupal sites, I don't think that it's all that difficult to fix this problem. All we need to do is put a place for the site's name or logo in the header and you're done. The benefits I think far outweigh this issue, which can easily be remedied. I don't see this as being an intrinsic problem in separating out the admin UI, it's simply a design problem. Chris On Mar 28, 2005 4:15 PM, Adrian Simmons <adrinux@gmail.com> wrote:

Drupal should ship with a default /admin theme, which provides a consistent backend UI for all Drupal installs. This is what we used to have, and it has bad usability for those of us that maintain several drupal sites. If all admin sections look the same how can you tell which site you're on? And what happens when you happen to be making changes to more than one site at a time - there's potential for great confusion when the only thing to differentiate the sites is the url in the location bar.
Consistent admin UI and a consistent admin theme aren't quite the same thing.
