We’ve been working our asses off and finally have a beta to share. Download, test, and enjoy the pretty visuals. The word most people use when first seeing it is “sexy”. This is a great design, and I’m very pleased with how it has turned out. When the visuals are complete and the new icons are in, 2.7 will be a very good looking release.
Try this exercise. Load up the Write Post page in 2.6 and in 2.7. Compare the location of the title field between the two. Notice the vertical distance. That’s one of my favorite 2.7 features.
Oh, nice. I know what I’ll be playing with tomorrow after I get home from work!
Thanks for all the hard work. I’m sure you and the WordPress team gave up a bit of sleep and weekend time to get this Beta ready.

You did a fantastic work, thank you !
W00t! Upgraded! So far, so awesome!
Oh, I wanna try. I’ve seen some screenshots before of the new interface and i’m must say, I’m really excited about it.
BTW is this a goodbye to admin drop down menu by OZH?
WordPress 2.7 beta 1…
WordPress 2.7 vient de sortir en beta 1, apres plusieurs journées de débuggage intensif. Les principaux changements portent sur l’interface d’administration, nom de code “CrazyHorse”, qui a fait beaucoup parler d’elle…..

Amazing work!
Let’s spread the culture!
wow i love it
but in 5mins i can see no. of bugs…
1. classic color scheme looks absurd
2. upload form text is over lapping when i upload 5-10 items
3. i can make new post without title
more to come
but its a nice version
I can’t wait for the full release…….I am downloading right now and I am going to play with it…god I love having my own domain to play with my toys…
But what is 2.7 is going to do with themes and plugins? Will it take years for them to work with each other?
I have upgraded to the new beta and have found a bug in the “Insert Media” plug-in but cannot find where to submit the information. Could you point me in the right direction?
I’m worried about Plug-in’s breaking…
I think I’ll wait till the general release or until a few more beta’s come out.

Great job, have downloaded and ready to install.
Yay finally! I’ve been installing the nightly build on my other blog but will install this beta on my main blog as I can’t wait no further for 2.7 lol

thanks, I will try working with the all new wp 2.7 tonight
Great update. The redesign is a huge thing. I like it so far, but I am still playing around with it. I liked Lucida Grande better as a font for the menu, but maybe that’s just me

Fantastic. As a long-time WP user, I’d like to say a huge thank you to you and others who devote so much time and energy to the project. 2.7 takes WP to a whole new level.
I am in love with 2.7 already. Just a while back upgraded to beta and it UI looks great! Great work
Cheers!
Mohan
At last we have the new upgrade, Kudos!!
I wouldn’t describe the new UI as sexy myself (because then I would have to find a new word to describe the interfaces of some other publishing systems), but I like most of the new features *a lot*.
I posted an illustrated tour of some of the most useful new features, based on 2.7 beta 1: http://op111.net/p63

Hi Ryan,
I tried installing it on my local install xampp, and the installation goes successful but when i click on the blog, nothing shows up, and I could not login to the site as well.
is there any known issues?
hi, great work. where is the proper place to report bugs in this beta? thanks. Deryk
“First draft of contextual help tab” or screen_meta
Currently not customizable for plugins (ok it is a draft)
I would appreciate to be able to put anything that i want (text, or links) and to get rid of the codex links (not mandatory for plugin screens).
keep on the good work !
