The first Alpha release of Spark has just been released, so we decided to take it for a test drive. Come with us and see where Drupal usability is headed.

The key difference you'll notice immediately is with the black admin bar. There are now View and Edit buttons in the top-left corner.

Click Edit and a grey overlay comes over the page. Anything that you can edit will now be outlined in blue.

With Ember, the Drupal 7 overlay is gone. This is a good thing.
