Excellent for quickly differentiating the different states of the site (production, experimental and under development)!

Cannot create own scheme

By lausianne on June 15, 2020

My misconception, probably, but I thought this was for creating my own color scheme. Just adding a few additional presets, I don't see the point, sorry. The only reason for me to change the color scheme would be to set it to the website brand colors. So if there were a thousand additional presets, there would still hardly be one that matches any of my clients colors ...

Awesome and nice

A plugin all should have. Combine with "Default Admin Color Scheme" plugin.

Love it

Far simpler and cleaner than many "admin theme" plugins out there. Gorgeous, thank you!

simple and perfect

Allow users to create there own

By klewis (blackawxs) on November 3, 2016

This is a future request for the possibility of adding a color picker tool, to allow admin users to create their own 5 color combination schemes. Great plugin, but would love to brand the admin with colors I want to use. Is this possible?

Simple. Easy. Works!

Design color scheme

By Ionel Roiban (wpdeveloper) on September 3, 2016

Just adding a couple more color schemes, none of them being even close to our brand colors, doesn't make this plugin useful. Would be useful if we could actually design and manage our own color scheme. Need more documentation. Thanks.
