Until recently I have not looked too closely at the manager themes available for the MODx framework. I am getting started on a major redesign for one of our larger customers and this process began I decided to take a closer look at this side of MODx. What’s impressive is how readily these changes are made within the system.
The theme that I quickly gravitated toward was the MODx Carbon Manager Theme by garborg. The graphics and color scheme are right on the money, I usually use the orange and white MODx theme that is one of the four default themes in the MODx install. It has always worked well for me, but this one is much easier on the eyes. With a few small tweaks I had it looking just the way I wanted.
I know that MODx Revolution 2.0-beta-1 was just released and has slick new administration side, but there are still a lot of us that will be using Evolution (0.9.6.3) for a little while longer yet. This should definitely be a helpful bit of code until the full release and that transition occurs.
thanks for sharing this. I just installed MODx 1.0 and with all the fuss about ManagerManager, I took a peak at the plugin code, couldn't quite figure it out so I'd been looking all over the web for a good documentation/tutorial/blog out there when the whole time the docs were in the assets/plugins/managermanager/docs folder!!!!! hahah.. thanks again

Yeah, once you locate them it's really well documented.
