Richard,

This is rather trivial to do with an extension.  Write your desired CSS, 
put it in your extension public/stylesheets directory.  Then put 
something like this in your extension's activate method:

    SiteController.class_eval do

        before_filter :customize_admin_css

        def customize_admin_css

            include_stylesheet 'my_stylesheet'

       end

    end

Obviously you'd want to name your stylesheet something else.  Hope this 
is helpful!
