    I like the new look in wordpress admin however there is one eye soar remaining that is the list colors in the plugins page. I could not change that color fast enough. I posted a question in the wp support forums since i could not find the code to edit and got a response from IanD on where to look and presto as a result i have a plugins list with colors that match the rest of the admin look.

    I have written a tutorial for others to refer to and learn how to do this if they so please.

    In your wordpress directory is a folder “wp-admin” in this folder you will find a file titled “wp-admin.css”
    Please first off be sure to make a backup of this file before proceeding any further. I say again Please first off be sure to make a backup of this file before proceeding any further.

    Open “wp-admin.css” in an editor and scroll down to line 690 and look for thie following entry….

    .active td {
    background: #BEB;
    }
    .active .name {
    background: #9C9;
    }
    .alternate.active td {
    background: #ADA;
    }
    .alternate.active .name {
    background: #8B8;
    }

    This is the code we will be working with. .active td & .alternate.active td is where you read the plugin description etc. .active .name & .alternate.active .name is the far left name of the plugins. Ok now that that is explained makes it easier to understand the code and what you want to do with it.

    To create a look that matches the rest of the wp admin look i edited the code using the following color code….

    .active td {
    background: #6da6d1;
    }
    .active .name {
    background: #5895c6;
    }
    .alternate.active td {
    background: #a1c9e7;
    }
    .alternate.active .name {
    background: #5895c6;
    }

  • Looks good! Thanks for the idea. This makes everything look more consistent.

    Ohhh, I have had loads of fun playing around with wp-admin.css. With the previous version of WordPress I made the admin interface look like my old site design. I let that go once I switched to 2.0 though. I wasn’t sure it would work right. Maybe someday I’ll get the motivation to do another re-vamp of the admin interface to look like my current design.

    Get in and play around some more with that, it’s really fun.

    Makki: thanks for the idea – I’ll have this in mind, though I kinda like the green, so keeping it for the time being
