Wordpress team just released the third beta version of Wordpress 2.7. First thing you will notice will be the new background color, new background color is a darker tone of white color. I think this makes the new design easy on the eyes. New design has that soft & clean look.  There are a lot of fixes, 160 to be precise.  They changed submenu fonts.  New menu has been improved. Overal, it’s probably a beta release that you don’t want to miss out on. If you’re already using a 2.7 version, scroll down to bottom right of your admin panel and click on “stay updated” then follow instructions.  If you are still using 2.6, here is the download link for 2.7 Beta 3.
