Answers.Text: I installed Adminimal on my site but had an issue with the "Sidebar Left" in that "CiviCRM Create New Record" would always pop up to the top of the bar and be unclickable. Might be a 4.6 thing, but it's sure annoying!

Answers.Text: @CullenMcGough Ah, nothing already-made that I know of, sorry. Though it might not be too hard to come up with custom CSS to override just Civi's menu to look similar to Adminimal's.

Answers.Text: Just my opinion, YMMV, but I don't like this type of "modern" interface. I find them harder to read and navigate and to tell interactive widgets apart from purely visual elements.
