DarkAdmin – Dark Mode for Adminpanel

DarkAdmin – Dark Mode for Adminpanel

Details
View on WordPress

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
* Preset Themes: choose between Default (WP 6.x) and Modern (WP 7.0) color palettes
* 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
