Quick, Simple, Easy, Works!

Thank you for this plugin that makes the admin dashboard easy on the eyes. So far so good, works with WP Version 6.4.3. Instantly makes the admin dashboard feel more current, no complicated settings, just install and activate.

Makes WP dashboard so much easier on the eyes

By Ivan Arnaudov (ivan.arnaudov) on July 13, 2021

Although the changes it introduces are subtle, Custom Admin UI brings an air of subdued elegance and order to the WordPress dashboard. I have installed in on all of my websites and plan to deploy it in all future projects for 3rd parties I will be working on. For everybody who seeks to improve the looks of the WordPress dashboard, or simply wants a small change after spending many hundreds or thousands of hours in the WP back-end, Custom Admin UI comes with my strong recommendations, especially when paired with Admin Color Schemes or a similar tool to add more varied color combinations to the dashboard UI. Kudos to the developers!

It works good & it's clean

Though the features are still minimal at this time, but it works good! This plugin makes my admin area less-boring. It looks clean and more beautiful. Now almost on every new WordPress install, I install this plugin. Even I also installed to old/ existing WordPress installs 🙂
