This is a theme system issue.

In your _page template, simple use:

if (arg(0) == 'admin') {
   // load admin stylesheet
}
else {
   // load normal stylesheet
}

If someone cooks up a patch which changes one or more core themes to  
introduce some visual distinction between admin and user mode, I'd be  
happy to commit that.  The differences don't have to be disruptive.   
Just changing the background color would probably be a small but  
helpful change.

Could you try to be a little more concrete?  How exactly would you  
like to see admin/content improved?  I'm not sure I understood your  
explanation.
