> Solution:
> The attached patch gives the admin panel the same look as t3skin has.

Hi!

It really sounds hilarious, but this patch makes the resizable textareas 
in the backend unusable (*) in Chrome 9 (works in Chrome 8).
To be more specific: Adding the file admin_panel.css

I don't know how and why.. yes.. but it is how it is.

All definitions look well prefixed with #TSFE_ADMIN_PANEL_FORM, CSS 
validator and my two validator eyes also couldn't find any obvious issue.

So one question, which could remedy this problem: Has this file to be 
loaded in the backend? I don't think so, as it's loaded in 
lass.tslib_adminpanel.php. However, placing it in 
EXT:t3skin/stylesheets/(visual|structure)/ automatically causes it to be 
loaded in backend.

Could this file just be moved to t3skin/stylesheets/adminpanel/ or 
similar? This should fix the issue.

Chrome 9 is currently beta, so this is not *that* critical.

Kind regards
Steffen
