<\/p>\nWordPress 2.5 introduces a neat option: per user Admin Color Scheme. This means that each user can select a stylesheet they like best for the whole admin area. Now onto the fun stuff: adding a per-user selectable custom stylesheet for your blog.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The new function behind this feature is wp_admin_css_color(), which is used as following:<\/p>\n
wp_admin_css_color(\r\n\t$shortname, \/\/ eg 'mycoolstyle', used to store setting in the wp_options table\r\n\t$longname, \/\/ eg 'My Cool Style'\r\n\t$css_url, \/\/ URL to your custom stylesheet\r\n\tarray(\r\n\t\t$color_code_1, \/\/ a HTML color code like '#123456'\r\n\t\t$color_code_2, \/\/ or 'red'\r\n\t\t$color_code_3, \/\/ or 'rgb(100,100,100)'\r\n\t\t... \/\/ any number of color codes you want\r\n\t)\r\n);<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\nThis function call populates an array ($_wp_admin_css_colors) which is then used on the profile page to display the cute colorful little table cells. In your plugins, hook the function call into 'admin_init', and you're done.<\/p>\n
Example<\/h2>\n
Say you're a Brazil fan and you want to make a plugin that adds some sunshine into your admin area. You would create a custom stylesheet that would reside into your plugin directory, and the plugin itself would be something like:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n\/*\r\nPlugin Name: Admin Custom CSS: Brazil!\r\nPlugin URI: http:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/\r\nDescription: Plugin example: add a per-user custom CSS to the admin area\r\nAuthor: Ozh\r\nVersion: 0.1\r\nAuthor URI: http:\/\/planetozh.com\/\r\n*\/\r\n\r\nadd_action('admin_init','custom_admin_css_brazil');\r\n\r\nfunction custom_admin_css_brazil() {\r\n\t$plugin_url = get_option( 'siteurl' ) . '\/wp-content\/plugins\/' . plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)) ;\r\n\twp_admin_css_color(\r\n\t\t'brazil',\r\n\t\t__('Brazil'),\r\n\t\t$plugin_url . '\/wp-admin-brazil.css',\r\n\t\tarray(\r\n\t\t\t'#3c940c',\r\n\t\t\t'#fffc01',\r\n\t\t\t'#3005eb',\r\n\t\t)\r\n\t);\r\n}\r\n?><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n
