Description
Cybro Glass restyles wp-admin as a translucent, frosted-glass interface. It never modifies core files: everything is applied through standard hooks (admin_enqueue_scripts, login_enqueue_scripts, admin_body_class, admin_bar_menu), so deactivating the plugin restores the stock admin immediately.
Features
- Light and dark themes, following the operating system by default or pinned from the admin bar.
- Settings page with live preview: blur, tint, corner radius, accent colour, shadow strength and animation speed.
- Optional background image, chosen from the media library, with an adjustable dim so text stays readable over any photo.
- Per-user preferences saved to user meta, so each account can pick its own theme, accent and density.
- Styling for the admin menu, admin bar, list tables, forms, media library, plugins, themes, menus, the file editor, dialogs and the login screen.
- Accessibility: every text and surface pairing is checked against WCAG AA contrast in both themes; focus rings, a high-contrast mode and reduced-motion support are included.
- Performance mode disables backdrop blur entirely for lower-powered machines.
- Works with RTL, multisite and high-DPI displays.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect, store or transmit any personal data, and makes no external network requests. Settings are stored in the site options table and per-user preferences in user meta; both are removed when the plugin is deleted.

FAQ
-
Does it modify WordPress core files?
-
No. It only enqueues CSS and JavaScript and adds classes and admin-bar nodes through official hooks.
-
Will it break when WordPress updates?
-
It targets stable admin markup and degrades gracefully. If a future release changes a screen, the affected area falls back to the stock appearance rather than breaking; deactivating the plugin restores the default admin instantly.
-
The blur makes my machine slow. Can I turn it off?
-
Yes. Enable “Performance mode” in the settings, or set blur intensity to 0. Surfaces then use an opaque tint instead of a backdrop blur.
-
Can each user choose their own theme?
-
Yes. The theme, accent colour, blur, sidebar style and compact mode can be set per user; those preferences override the site-wide settings for that account only.
-
Does it work with a background image on any photo?
-
Yes, but adjust the “Background dim” slider to suit the image. The dim lightens in light mode and darkens in dark mode, which is what keeps text legible over a photograph of any brightness.
