Add Some Style to the WordPress Admin Panel
As anyone who uses WordPress knows, the admin panel is a little rough on the eyes. It’s the same blend of blues and greys, it never changes and if you get sick of looking at the ‘fresh’ design that was released with WordPress 2.5 the only other option you have is the vintage WordPress look, which is even worse than the fresh look.
If you’re like me, you know that change is good, especially when it comes to sites you look at every day. We all need to change it up a little bit every now and then, which is why sites like MySpace have so many free template sites and the same goes for Blogger and WordPress design templates, why sites like Plurk and Twitter allow you to change the look of your profile, and so on. People do not want to be forced to look at the same thing over and over again. This also applies to the WordPress Admin section. I know that I spend countless hours every week working on my websites; the amount of hours I put in on my websites are the equivalent of two full time jobs, not even factoring in the fact that I also work a full time job from home. With a “job” that you spend up to 80 hours a week on, looking at the WordPress admin panel while you go about your website work can get a little sore on the eyes and very repetitive.
Pressing Pixels thought the same thing and decided to make a plugin to change the look of your WordPress admin panel–WordPress Custom Admin Branding.
The WordPress Custom Admin Branding plugin is a great plugin and makes logging into your WordPress panel again and again a little more refreshing than it would be normally. Here’s a look at what Woman Tribune’s WordPress now looks like:
The WordPress login screen using the WordPress Custom Admin Branding plugin
The WordPress admin dashboard header using the WordPress Custom Admin Branding plugin
The WordPress admin dashboard footer using the WordPress Custom Admin Branding plugin
I definitely recommend this plugin for anyone who is sick of looking at the same old WordPress admin panel. Download the plugin here.

I don?t usually reply to posts but I will in this case. I?ve been experiencing some problem with a new WordPress installation of mine. Care to help?
What version of WordPress did you upgrade to? I am currently using version 2.9.1 and know already that there is a problem with scheduling posts, such as the fact that you can’t. I have scheduled about five posts to publish automatically in the past week or so and one of them posted successfully. I think it’s a WordPress glitch. Other than that, what are you having problems with? And you can always try the WordPress Codex. They are constantly updating the forums with known bugs and fixes.
