Description

AdrianToro Admin Palette helps you make the WordPress admin feel like your workspace.

Admin colors – open a floating color customizer on any admin screen. Pick a starter palette or choose your own colors. Preview live, then save.
Dashboard widgets – add up to two custom dashboard boxes, choose which roles see them, and optionally hide the default WordPress widgets.

On install, the admin looks like normal WordPress until you choose a palette.
