Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but I thought I would share some CSS I cobbled together. Rather than trying to restore the old look of Recent Changes, I tried to keep the (mildly-interesting) statistics box and give the list of changes the full width of the page.

This does not work great for all special pages (although it probably could with a bit more tweaking), but it looks good enough for me for the pages I use most often. I do not know how it will look on new wikis (with the progress bar). It could break as Wikia makes more changes to the dashboard. It does not address the color scheme as Wikia has stated that that is going to be looked at.

/* Move the statistics on Special:Recent Changes so they are not in the way by default. */ .AdminDashboardRail { position: absolute; top:     48px; right:   0em; z-index: 6; }

.AdminDashboardDrawer { display: none; }

.WikiaArticle.AdminDashboardChromedArticle { width: 982px; }

/* Make the headers fit to the left of the statistics. */

.AdminDashboardGeneralHeader { width: 700px; }

width: 684px; }
 * 1) wikia-mediawiki-recentchangestext {

.rcoptions { width: 672px; }
