<p>Works out of the box (no coding required) to create a warm pink & neutral admin color scheme.</p>
<p>Based on the work by <a href="http://increasy.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">meabhisek</a> in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/romance-admin-color-scheme/" rel="ugc">Romance Color Scheme</a>, but extended to cover more of the wp-admin including media upload, focus colors, button colors and text shadows, etc.</p>
<p>Developers: You can use this as a base to create your own color scheme. The plugin will look for a file called admin-color.css in the root of your theme or child theme, and comes with admin-color.scss for you to edit and compile your own.<br />
This plugin will look for <strong>admin-color.css</strong> in the root of your theme or child theme, and override the styles used in the plugin itself. It will be a complete override, so you’ll need to move the entire file over, otherwise styles will be missing. <strong>This is a developer tool, not an options interface. You’ll need to be comfortable writing CSS and/or Sass and adding files to your theme directory.</strong></p>
<p><strong>CSS:</strong><br />
In the Resources folder of the plugin, copy admin-color.css to the root of your theme or child theme, and edit colors as you like.</p>
<p><strong>SCSS:</strong><br />
I’ve provided a Sass file with the necessary variables to make it easier to rapidly create new color schemes. It comes with a relative URL (based on the theme root) to import the other Sass files (mixins and styles) from the plugin itself. Grab that file from the Resources folder and use it to generate your own admin-color.css quickly.</p>


Super Thorough Admin Color Scheme

For some pink schemes, people can go overboard. This one is just right with just the right shade of darker pink. The black and grey areas have all been toned down to be restful on the eyes as well.



Does the job without being overhwelming

I love pink. I'm also excited to try it out for building a new style.



This admin theme makes me happy when I look at it

This is an amazing plugin that's very simple to use. You just install it! Bam. How simple is that. 
Why should you make your admin dashboard pink? It helps you find links that you didn't know exist. Think about that for a minute.



Very clean, super easy to see

A super-thorough admin color scheme, which happens to be pink. Works as-is without any coding, or great for developers to use to build their own style …

<p>If you manage a multi-author WordPress blog or WordPress sites for clients, then you may have wondered if it was possible to clean up the WordPress admin area for your users? There are lots of things in the WordPress admin area that your users don’t need to see or use. This plugin help you to hide unnecessary items from WordPress admin area.</p>
<p>Adminimize makes it easy to remove items from view based on a user’s role.</p>
<h4>What does this plugin do?</h4>
<p>The plugin changes the administration backend and gives you the power to assign rights on certain parts. Admins can activate/deactivate every part of the menu and even parts of the sub-menu. Meta fields can be administered separately for posts and pages. Certain parts of the write menu can be deactivated separately for admins or non-admins. The header of the backend is minimized and optimized to give you more space and the structure of the menu gets changed to make it more logical – this can all be done per user so each role and their resulting users can have his own settings.</p>
<h4>Support Custom Post Type</h4>
<p>The plugin support all functions also for custom post types, automatically in the settings page.</p>
<h4>Support Custom Options on all different post types</h4>
<p>It is possible to add own options to hide areas in the back-end of WordPress. It is easy and you must only forgive a ID or class, a selector, of the markup, that you will hide.</p>
<h4>Compatibility with plugins for MetaBoxes in Write-area</h4>
<p>You can add your own options, you must only check for css selectors.</p>
<h4>Help with “Your own options”</h4>
<p>See the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/328449" title="Plugin: Adminimize Help with Your own options (3 posts)" rel="ugc">entry on the WP community forum</a> for help with this great possibility.</p>
