Zephyr Admin Theme

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 50% 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.

   My oh My! I just said let me try this little touch up plugin by Zephyr to the Admin panel and when I activated it I was in for a pleasant surprise as like “Shazzaam” it brightened up what has been a very boring WordPress default Admin Panel! Yes, I know WordPress has its user profile color scheme, but it certainly does not give the flexibility and personalization touch that this little plugin provides. More so its a “User” profile plastic surgery thing and not a total Admin Panel make-over like this plugin. Who ever made it…Thanks and now the only challenge I have is to go to every WordPress site we have and change them all giving them a new lease of eye pleasing life as now I certainly will be enjoying working daily in the backend! This little plugin gets a Five star in my books!
