I don't think a dark theme would go down with members very well for an admin resource site. I'm not saying the style is bad, though a default dark style at the best of times won't be everyones cup of tea. Personally, I would opt for a light style.

I would give the logo a little more life, possibly add in some more colour maybe some images. something that will give the logo some perspective and eliminate that flat feeling.

I noticed the forum Icons you have placed are not complimenting the background very well thus you can see the remnants of a darker color surrounding them which makes them look a little taccy. You can request for a background modification in the Graphic database and request for the background to match the exact colour of the background that they are placed upon.

Again with the Images, you might want to save them using a background colour matte instead of opting for full transparency. Example, The whos_online.gif image looks jaggy as it was saved with transparency and the curved edges will enduce that nasty looking jaggy surround.

Overall, the style and the incorrectly saved out images enduce a kind of shabby look. with some colour changes and correctly saved out images it would look okay. I would suggest opting for a light style but that's my own preference.

Goodluck with your site.
