CiviCRM Admin Utilities modifies CiviCRM’s behaviour in single site and multisite installs. It does a number of useful things:
<ul>
<li>Supplies a theme for CiviCRM admin screens that is more in keeping with WordPress (see below)</li>
<li>Modifies the styling of the CiviCRM menu to fix a number of issues</li>
<li>Fixes the appearance of the Shoreditch extension in WordPress admin</li>
<li>Fixes the appearance of the WordPress Access Control form where necessary</li>
<li>Offers options to prevent various CiviCRM Stylesheets from loading on the front-end</li>
<li>Adds a handy CiviCRM Shortcuts menu to the WordPress Admin Bar</li>
<li>Allows you to choose which Post Types the CiviCRM shortcode button appears on</li>
<li>In WordPress multisite, allows you to hide CiviCRM on sub-sites</li>
<li>Allows you to remove “administer CiviCRM” capabilities from sub-site administrators</li>
<li>Allows suppression of the “change of email” notification when a CiviCRM Contact’s primary email is changed</li>
<li>Gives an overview of the relationships between Users and Contacts via the “Manage Users” screen</li>
</ul>
<h3>CiviCRM Admin Theme</h3>
Version 0.5 introduces a new theme for CiviCRM admin screens that is more in keeping with WordPress. It can be enabled on the CiviCRM Admin Utilities settings page. Feedback is welcome – please open an issue on the plugin’s <a href="https://github.com/christianwach/civicrm-admin-utilities" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a> if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvements.
<h3>Requirements</h3>
This plugin requires a minimum of WordPress 4.9 and CiviCRM 5.39 but recommends you keep up to date with both.
<h3>Notes</h3>
If you have installed the Shoreditch extension for CiviCRM, then this plugin does its best to make it compatible with WordPress. Unfortunately, Shoreditch version 0.1-alpha25 now makes it very difficult to override the margin applied to the body tag on the front end of your site, so you will have to do this yourself.
<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
This plugin is in active development. For feature requests and bug reports (or if you’re a plugin author and want to contribute) please visit the plugin’s <a href="https://github.com/christianwach/civicrm-admin-utilities" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.

Neurogenesis Styler extends the native Gutenberg blocks with advanced design controls – it does not add new blocks.
This means your site stays incredibly lightweight, fast, and future-proof, while you gain professional-grade styling options directly inside the block editor.
With Neurogenesis Styler, you design using the blocks you already know – headings, paragraphs, groups, columns, images, and more – but with a far richer set of visual tools. No custom blocks, no theme lock-in, no clutter.
Take full creative control with advanced styling features:
Full Typography Control for Pixel-Perfect Readability: Stop fighting with your theme. Gain options for custom fonts, weights, sizes, line heights, letter spacing, and text shadows—all instantly responsive across devices.
Backgrounds That Bring Designs to Life 
  Enhance any block with colors, gradients, or images. Layer them together for modern, brand-consistent backgrounds and stunning visual depth.
Borders with Style and Precision 
  Add borders and radius controls to native blocks. Define width, style, and color globally or per side with precision.
Pixel-Perfect Spacing Controls (Margins & Padding) 
  Banish custom CSS! Effortlessly fine-tune outer margins and inner padding directly in the sidebar for any block across desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
Visual Effects That Add Depth 
  Use shadows, transitions, opacity, and z-index layering for polished, interactive layouts that truly stand out.
Flexible Block Sizing 
  Control width, height, min/max constraints, and responsive sizing on native blocks for total layout mastery.
Responsive Design Made Simple 
  Style blocks differently for desktop, tablet, and mobile – built-in, no extra frameworks required.
Interactive Hover States 
  Add life to your designs by applying dynamic hover styles (colors, borders, shadows, and backgrounds) to any block, creating truly engaging user experiences.
Template Editing for Consistency 
  Apply the same styling power to templates and template parts for cohesive, site-wide design—perfect for Full Site Editing (FSE) themes.
With Neurogenesis Styler, Gutenberg finally feels complete – empowering you to design modern, responsive websites directly in the editor without adding a single new block.
<h3>Roadmap and Future Plans</h3>
We are committed to making Neurogenesis Styler the best tool for styling native Gutenberg blocks. Here is what we’re actively working on for upcoming releases:
View generated CSS by section, so you can inspect easy all the properties.
Background Blend Modes: Giving designers even more creative control over layered background images and colors.
Custom Font Provider Integration: Expanding support for popular custom font services.
