<p>Hugh is a social color experiment for WordPress. Add the Hugh widget to any sidebar and visitors to your site can pick a color — background, text, the whole page — and broadcast it to everyone else viewing the site at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>A visitor opens the color picker in the Hugh widget, chooses a hex color, and optionally leaves a short note.</li>
<li>Hugh pushes that color via the REST API and stores it (up to 100 recent entries).</li>
<li>The page background and text color transition smoothly to the new color for all active visitors.</li>
<li>A row of color swatches shows the history of recent choices — click any swatch to jump back to that color.</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s part toy, part social experiment: can your visitors agree on a color, or will it descend into a color battle?</p>
<p><strong>Technical details:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Colors are stored via the WP object cache when an external cache (Memcached, Redis) is available, making it fast and ephemeral. Without an external cache it falls back to a WP option for persistence.</li>
<li>Color history is capped at 100 entries, sorted by timestamp.</li>
<li>REST endpoints at <code>hugh/v1/colors</code> (GET) and <code>hugh/v1/colors/add</code> (POST) are public and unauthenticated by design — this is intentional for the live-sharing mechanic.</li>
<li>The <code>hugh_css</code> filter lets themes register custom CSS overrides. Twenty Seventeen support is built in; other themes can hook in via <code>add_filter( 'hugh_css', ... )</code>.</li>
<li>Colors are rendered as smooth CSS transitions so the page doesn’t flash when a new color arrives.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Hugh works best on sites with an external object cache. Without one, colors are persisted to the database and shared state may lag under concurrent visitors.</p>

Hugh is your personal color consultant. However, Hugh also easily gives in to peer pressure.

<p>The Qwerty Admin Panel Theme is a plugin for WordPress 2.7 that allows you to style the admin panel and login screen for all users, allowing you to configure groups of colors through an options page, and styles through a stylesheet. Also, it allows you to swap the wordpress logos with your own logo images.</p>
<p>It can be useful in helping to maintain your design, color schemes and branding on multi-author blogs and sites with user-contributed content, adding a nice touch to sites developed for clients, or simply personalizing your blog’s administration, look and feel.</p>
<h3>Usage / Configuration</h3>
<p>While the Qwerty Admin Panel Theme Plugin has some defaults that you might like and keep, it’s basic purpose is to make the customization process easy.</p>
<h4>Colors</h4>
<p>The options page is under Appearance –> Qwerty Admin Panel Theme. From there you can configure groups of colors for display, as well as which of the admin panel menus are to be hidden.</p>
<h4>Images</h4>
<p>In the qwerty-admin/images/ folder there are three images, which appear in the login screen (qwerty-logo-login.png), the lower left corner of the admin panel (qwerty-logo-ghost.png) and the upper right corner, on the panel’s header (qwery-logo-head.png).</p>
<p>In order to show your own images, place them in the plugin’s images folder with the names logo-login.png, logo-ghost.png and logo-head.png. If any of the images doesn’t exist, the plugin will use the default qwerty- one. Don’t substitute the qwerty- ones, as they may be overwritten when the plugin is updated.</p>
<h4>CSS</h4>
<p>If you need to enter any style information of your own, you can do so in a file named qwerty-admin-imports.css, which doesn’t come with the theme but will be loaded if you create it. This way, you can modify css information without worrying of losing your customizations on auto-updates.</p>
<p>Currently the plugin uses the /wp-admin/css/colors-fresh.css file to get its base information from, and the only information it fiddles with is colors and images. Of course, you can change dimensions to suit your needs by entering your styles in the imports file.</p>
<h4>Limited interface</h4>
<p>The limited interface options work with wordpress capabilities, checking if the user has the “Limited interface” capability and hiding certain parts of the admin interface in that case.</p>
<p>In order for it to work you have to give the “Limited interface” capability to a group of users. You need a role manager plugin to do so.</p>
<p>The options panel provides toggles to quickly hide the Dashboard, Media and Comments menus. You can place any other css styles you wish to apply for that role in a file named qwerty-admin-limited.css in your plugin directory and it will be automatically included.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that the plugin simply hides certain elements by setting their display property to none. Users that know a url hidden in this way may still visit it, so it shouldn’t be used for security purposes but only to simplify the design.</p>
