Admin Template

To customise the Admin Interface, edit the CSS style sheet /admin/admin-index.css. Edited link and hover colours to make the interface more clear.

Custom PixelPost Admin

A green and cyan styled Admin CSS with fixed width screen. Nice attempt, but the colours are a bit hard on the eyes.

• See Modifications: Custom PixelPost Admin.

To install just replace your existing Admin CSS Stylesheet:

1. Rename your Admin CSS file admin/admin_index.css to admin/admin_index_OLD.css or similar to save the default version;
2. Upload the new file admin/admin_index.css your server;
3. Refresh your Admin page.

PPost Refresh Custom Pixelpost Admin

A complete restyle of the Pixelpost Admin including a moved and fixed-to-viewport navigation, so no need to scroll back to the top of the page. Five colours included. Very nice colours, but some Admin Addon options didn't display properly.

• See Modifications: PPost Refresh Custom Pixelpost Admin to download.
• See nyssajbrown.net/... author's website for more info.

To install just replace your existing Admin CSS Stylesheet:
