About a week ago, I wrote about a WordPress plugin called UpdraftCentral that allows you to manage multiple websites from a single dashboard. While the dashboard itself is pretty minimal, I had a couple readers ask about the possibility of changing the colors to match their theme.
UPDATE (Feb 6, 2018) : As of the latest version release of UpdraftCentral, the UI has been changed dramatically. These CSS updates may not have the desired affect shown in the screen captures.
Like most color changes, the modifications can be done via CSS. We’ll make it simple… just copy and paste the code below into your custom CSS. Most themes have a section for custom CSS, if you’re doesn’t, then you can use a child theme CSS to get the affected changes.
/UpdraftCentral Color Customization/
/Top Dashboard Navigation Bar/
.updraft-central-navigation {
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
/Top Dashboard Hover Color on Icons/
.updraft-central-navigation .top_menu_right .dashicons:hover {
color: #dd3333
!important;
}
/Side Menu Background Color on Hover/
.updraft-menu-item:hover, .updraft-menu-item-links:hover {
background-color: #dd3333 !important;
}
/Side Menu Active Item Background Color/
.updraft-menu-item-links-active {
background-color: #dd3333 !important;
}
/Side Menu Central Button Background Color/
.updraft-central-sidebar-button {
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
/Button Outline & Background Color/
.updraftcentral_dashboard #updraft-central-content .btn-primary,
.updraftcentral_modal_dialog .btn-primary, .updraft_download_button,
.updraft_site_settings_output button.button-primary,
.modal-footer .btn-primary, .updraftplus-settings-save {
border: 1px solid #ffffff !important;
color: #FFF !important;
background-color: #dd3333 !important;
}
/End UpdraftCentral Color Customization/
The code above will give you an UpdraftCentral dashboard that looks like this:
You can experiment with the colors in the CSS to get the look you want for your own dashboard. Let us know what you think!
