The Easy Admin Color Schemes plugin allows users to easily customize the colors of the administration interface for WordPress.

Download Version 4.1

4.1

  • Went back to prefixed function names instead of PHP 5.3 namespaces because of many complaints. Maybe we can try again some time in the future.

4.0

  • Version 4.0 is a complete rewrite from the ground up. Everything has been restructured and improved.
  • Schemes have been moved from the file system to the database to prevent various file permissions issues the old versions suffered from.
  • Simplified a lot of the code thanks to using a custom post type in the background.
  • Old scheme exports are not compatible with the new version. However, a simple copy-paste procedure from the old scheme file into the Add Scheme page should work fine.

3.2

  • Fixed (hopefully) the image display problems in the lower preview pane when adding/editing a color scheme
  • Fixed a bug in the last modified times function
  • Replaced some of the old JavaScript with jQuery code of similar functionality
  • Added a new Preview function which opens a preview of the selected color scheme in a lightbox
  • Added some more in-depth permissions functionality
  • Added the ability for the primary colors to actually affect the color scheme
  • Added the ability to set a default color scheme which will affect all new users
  • Added the ability to force a certain color scheme on all users regardless of what they choose
  • Updated the included readme, screenshot, and .POT file to include the new changes

3.1

  • Added a toggle button for the live preview section
