<p>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</p>
<p>If there are any features you’d like to see or bugs with other plugins – visit the support tab and let me know.</p>
<h3>Improvements made</h3>
<ul>
<li>Blue AdminBar for front and backend of site</li>
<li>Soft Gray menu</li>
<li>Larger Calls to Action within Edit screens</li>
<li>Ability to change custom primary/secondary colors</li>
<li>Mobile Menu compatibility</li>
</ul>
