Godisme & Moncho, Sure thing. To build off of what Owen said -- going forward we have decided to make all of the tools display the same, meaning they will live within the dashboard/have the AD chrome. We decided to do this because we want all tools to have a slightly different look than content pages and contain access to the lists of other available tools. You guys are power users who know the ins and outs of all the special pages -- not all admins know this. Now that being said, next week we will be adding Navigation and Search and removing the side bar on Special Pages displayed in AD. Once this happens RC will be back to the way you were used to using it, bar two differences -- it will not bring in the wiki theme (pulling in the background color is something we are still looking into) and it will live within the dashboard.
