Fancy Admin UI

Description

WordPress’s admin themes are great, but we wanted to take it a step further. This is a clean blue/gray theme by default for the admin panel that simplifies the interface and makes things more accessible for our customers. Customize your colors by visiting Settings > General

If there are any features you’d like to see or bugs with other plugins – visit the support tab and let me know.

Improvements made

  • Blue AdminBar for front and backend of site
  • Soft Gray menu
  • Larger Calls to Action within Edit screens
  • Ability to change custom primary/secondary colors
  • Mobile Menu compatibility

Screenshots

  • Screenshot of the basic admin panel

Installation

  1. Upload fancy-admin-ui to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Set your custom colors via Settings > General

Be sure to check your login page because the default WP logo is a light blue and doesn’t match. I did wrap the standard WP logo in a white rounded rectangle so it should show up without any issue on any color.

This is the best Admin UI theme I’ve seen for Wordpress. Very clean and minimal and does a nice job at improving the Wordpress backend experience. I would highly suggest.
