Change Umbraco CMS theme / style (Free)

Does anyone know how I can change Umbraco CMS theme. (not for the website front-end, but just for the CMS front-end)

I want to make the GUI more user-friendly for non-admin users.

Project Belle was announced in 2012 at the Umbraco UK Festival and again in the November 2012 issue of uNews. Here are some points on it:

  • It's due to be released in the spring/summer of 2013.
  • It is a full refresh of the Umbraco back office user interface and in my opinion it looks great.
  • It is currently a separate open source project and is available on Bitbucket.
  • Bluegrass Digital has a good blog post that highlights its main features.
  • Brenden Rice has a working demo of Belle available for anyone who wants to check it out.

Instead of attempting to re-style the Umbraco back office yourself, I would recommend contributing to the project. You could even use a pre-release version of Belle if you don't want to wait. Unfortunately there are no other "themes" available.
