How to Personalize Your WordPress Admin Color Scheme
The recently released WordPress 3.8 comes with great new features, and one of these is an upgraded WP-Admin UI with a fresh new look. Your UI’s appearance can be tweaked further through a set of 8 basic color schemes to suit your mood:
However, WordPress has also introduced a new set of colors to expand its original library:
These new color schemes can be accessed through the Admin Color Schemes plugin, which is now available for download. Each scheme features a palette of four complementary and contrasting colors that you can easily change at a moment’s notice.
Of course, if you wish to change your color scheme without using a plugin, you can instead follow these steps:
1. Place your desired color scheme’s stylesheet into its required folder.
2. Add the following code to your functions.php file:
function additional_admin_color_schemes() { //Get the theme directory $theme_dir = get_template_directory_uri(); //Ocean wp_admin_css_color( 'ocean', __( 'Ocean' ), $theme_dir . '/admin-colors/ocean/colors.min.css', array( '#aa9d88', '#9ebaa0', '#738e96', '#f2fcff' ) ); } add_action('admin_init', 'additional_admin_color_schemes');
Good luck!
