live-admin-customzier

Unfortunately the screenshots do not show the full functionality of this plug-in: It not only installs predefined backend themes (like many other plug-ins), but a full theme editor with live preview! Why do you need this plug-in? First if you want do adjust your WordPress backend to the frontend design, especially if we are talking about corporate colors. And second if you are working with many WordPress websites in parallel and have to make sure that you make updates on the right website.

This is one of those little discoveries. A plugin still doesn't have the number of active install it deserves in time of this writing, but I believe it will get there. 🙂 The only thing I would change: I believe that this plugin is more like a tool, and it belongs either in the "Settings" or "Tools" part in WP admin. Having it in the main sidebar is too much, as it is not something that is constantly used. I understand there may be some marketing benefits, but those people have already installed the plugin so there is no benefit from that. The target audience of this plugin are the developers (imho), so there is a room for premium features like import/export, which would allow creation of a website where cool skins could be uploaded by the community. Thanks!

This plugin is so fun to use and make such a difference especially when I use the networked site on WP. Designed colours for each site, each users. The admin colour themes out there are terrible. great work.
