## Description

Joker Admin Colors lets you design your own WordPress admin colour schemes without
writing any code.

 * Build schemes from eight colours: menu background, menu text, highlight, notification
   badges, page background, links, buttons and form focus
 * Live preview while you pick colours
 * Two ready-made schemes included: Joker Graphite and Joker Noir
 * Checkboxes, radios and focus rings follow your scheme, not WordPress blue
 * Apply a scheme to every user in one click
 * Optionally force a scheme so users cannot change it
 * Every scheme also appears on each user’s profile screen

#### Joker Admin Colors Pro

The Pro edition adds premium admin styling, a branded dashboard with stats and shortcuts,
your logo in the toolbar and sidebar, custom menu icons and an agency support widget.

## Installation

 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Open Admin Colors in the sidebar.
 4. Create a scheme, or use Apply Site-Wide to move every user onto Joker Graphite.

## FAQ

### Some users still see the default WordPress colours

WordPress stores a colour choice for each user. Use Apply Site-Wide > Apply to All
Users, and tick Force this scheme to lock it.

### Where are the scheme files stored?

Each scheme is saved as a small stylesheet in wp-content/uploads/jacf-schemes/. 
Use Regenerate All CSS after moving your site.

### What happens when I delete the plugin?

All schemes and settings are removed and every user goes back to the default WordPress
colour scheme.
