Easy Admin Color Schemes

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plug-in solved a serious problem for me: when I upgraded to 3.8 all the admin menus went transparent and I haven’t found the reason. By using this plug-in I’ve been able to make the admin area decent again by picking brown from the “All admin color schemes” screen. There still are some issues, though. The “settings” screen doesn’t work. Also, I’d like to make it more contrasty with some css but I need an example so I know what I’m changing. BTW I’m using Weaver II Pro, which may be behind my problem.

   Love this plugin as it allows you to set your own color schemes.

   Extremely advanced, for those obsessive people who love to have everything under control.

   I like this plugin. Is there any way for you to share the “Reddish” theme you have in the screenshots?

   It’s ok. There’s no obvious easy way to make new colour schemes, and I had to edit the existing ones because the submenus were transparent and the text was hard to read. I also had to rearrange the TinyMCE configuration because the colour schemes seemed to make the buttons extend past the text area. Other than that it works fine.
