About this tool.
The WordPress admin has looked the same since 2013, and it shows. Grey on grey, a sidebar that every plugin adds a line to, a dashboard full of widgets nobody reads. You spend your days in there. It might as well be pleasant.
Double Youpï Refined Admin Dashboard redraws the whole thing, in dark or light, using only WordPress’s own components. Nothing is reinvented: the markup stays native, so your plugins keep working and their screens get the same treatment.
A dark theme that actually arrives dark
- Dark by default, light on demand, switched from the admin bar. Your choice is remembered and applied before the first paint, so you never see the old interface flash past.
- One design system across every screen. Tables, forms, metaboxes, notices, tabs, buttons and fields all speak the same language.
- Your accent colour, picked once. Text contrast against it is computed for you, so it stays readable whatever you choose.
- Your logo, in the admin and on the login screen.
A sidebar you can finally organise
- Menu entries are grouped into themed lines rather than piled up in the order plugins were installed.
- The rail is resizable and collapsible, and remembers how you left it.
- A second bar shows the sub-pages and the useful tabs of the current screen, so you stop going back and forth.
- An editor lets you reorder, move, hide, promote or demote any entry, without touching code. Newly installed plugins are detected and offered to you rather than silently appended.
A dashboard you compose
- Arrange widgets by dragging them, add headings and text, save the layout under a name.
- Assign a default layout per role, and let each person adjust their own.
- Ready-made presets if you would rather not start from a blank page.
Every notice in one place
Plugins compete for the top of your screen. All those notices are collected into a single counter, opened when you want them. Action feedback still appears immediately, as a brief toast, because that one you asked for.
