Overview

About this plugin

DarkAdmin transforms the WordPress admin dashboard into a clean, eye-friendly dark interface. The plugin is purely CSS-based, keeping it fast and non-intrusive. All colors are driven by CSS custom properties, making the theme fully customizable through a dedicated settings page — no code editing required.

An optional Auto Dark Mode feature uses JavaScript to dynamically handle third-party plugin areas not covered by the built-in stylesheet.

Features:

* One-click enable/disable

* Lightweight CSS-based admin theme

* Works across all admin pages

* Individual color customization via WordPress Color Picker

* Custom CSS support using built-in CSS variables

* Token-based design system for backgrounds, text, borders, buttons and states

* Auto Dark Mode: automatically darkens bright plugin backgrounds not covered by the stylesheet

x) color palettes

* Plugins: optional dark styles for Yoast SEO, Wordfence, UpdraftPlus, WP-Optimize, Contact Form 7, and WordPress AI & Connectors

* Per-user Dark Mode access control (Include / Exclude) with empty-state UI when no non-admin users exist

* Excluded Pages: specify admin pages where dark mode should not be applied
