cat_bar in forum maintenace is huge

[Spuds]

The various options under maintenance (routine, database, etc) have over sized headers which also makes the layout appear smushed

Yeah admin.css is a mess. Heaers are all being changed for new classes, so will sort it as it goes.

This works well. Just paste it over the current section in admin.css. Something like this is what it'll end up with although, with the markup cleaning that's on the cards, it wont be identical.

/* Styles for the manage maintenance section.
------------------------------------------------- */
#manage_maintenance .catbg {
    border: none;
    background: none;
}
#manage_maintenance div.windowbg, #manage_maintenance div.windowbg2 {
    background: none;
    padding: 0;
    margin:  0 0 4px 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #fff;
}
#manage_maintenance p {
    padding: 0 0 10px 0;
}
#manage_maintenance p .button_submit{
    margin: 4px 10px 0 10px;
}
/* Stop the submit buttons running away on wide screens.*/
#manage_maintenance form {
    max-width: 75em;
    margin: 0 12px;
}
#manage_maintenance .settings {
    margin: 16px 0 0 0;
}

Yup, that looks much better ... still seems to have a left over white top border on the sections that should be suppressed as well (I think :P )

Header bar is fixed, not sure what is going on with the buttons. Are they supposed to be in a fixed position or inline with the text? If inline seems they needs some baseline tweaks

At the moment I haven't really been worried about admin. Have been concerned with getting the public face of the thing presentable. Admin and moderation are a whole 'nother can of worms. Basically, if it looks wrong in admin, it probably is wrong. 😀
