is there an easy admin theme i can install in drupal?

like those big icons, and only those highly used features of drupal are displayed and the rest are all hidden? (eg create page, content management are the only few stuff that are being displayed).

basically something similar to joomla.

Drupal is really hairy for the average user, and with a easy admin theme to hide the other complexity of drupal, i think this would really be helpful.

try something like RootCandy theme
http://drupal.org/project/rootcandy

Or just install the admin menu module from here: http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu

You actually will need all options at some point. Hiding them won't do you any good I think :)

For content editors that don't need to see the advanced and overwhelming stuff, we usually create a custom page with a simple set of links/icons for the basic stuff, and then link to that page from the sidebar. You can hide that page from the average visitor using some form access control module.

Great suggestion!
You might be able to do this with access control using panels too :)
