Polpo is a Drupal 6 admin theme created by Australian Drupal developers <PreviousNext> that aims to make Drupal administration tasks easier for large corporate and novice users alike.
Specifically designed for making administration tasks clearer and easier to navigate, Polpo uses a fluid two column layout ideal for content editing on larger screen resolutions. This is achieved through the use of larger font sizes, clearer spacing and distinct colours to aid the usability of common tasks. Many of these approaches are being adopted for the new Drupal 7 admin interface, so Polpo aims to bring some of these ideas to sites currently running Drupal 6.
Features include:
Customisable header/link colours to match a client's branding.
Clean, simple form fields and tables.
Unique, professional look and feel for Drupal's admin pages.
Two column (main/sidebar) fluid layout.
To take full advantage of Polpo's features, we recommend it is installed in conjunction with the Administration Menu (Contributed) and Color (Drupal Core - Optional) modules.

GoAway is a dirt-simple, light-weight "Ban By IP" module. It works by redirecting offending anonymous users to a local page or remote URL specified by the admin.
Additional actions for imagecache processing using scale-9 image formatting. The actions include:
Overlay (scale-9) - Position a selected file in a layer above or below the canvas.
Resize (scale-9) - Resize an image to an exact set of dimensions, ignoring aspect ratio.
Scale (scale-9) - Resize an image maintaining the original aspect-ratio (only one value necessary).
Random switcher - Randomly switch between selected presets.
Scale-9 formatting lets you define 9 regions of an image overlay (or underlay) that will scale independently. The 9 regions are defined by giving left, top, right and bottom values. The left and right values being pixel offsets from the left edge of the image, and the top and bottom values being pixel offsets from the top of the image, resulting in a 3x3 grid. This is a standard method of UI skinning in Adobe Flash/Flex.
A simple example is the module image to the right. The same frame overlay image is placed 3 times in different sizes without any apparent distortion to the edge and corner areas.
