Admin Tweaks Plugin

With Admin Tweaks you’ll be able to simplify and make deep customizations in the administrative interface.
It’s a compilation of hooks for enhancing, styling and reducing WordPress backend.

Do you like to adjust and style the backend as much as the frontend?
So, we are together!

Acknowledgments

• Everything changed after WordPress Stack Exchange
• Plugin interface using @bainternet’s Admin Page Class
• CSS for hiding help texts adapted from Admin Expert Mode
• Everything started with Adminimize, by Frank Büeltge, which does an awesome job hiding WordPress elements, but I wanted more, and these are some of the great resources where I found many snippets: Stack Exchange, WPengineer, wpbeginner, CSS-TRICKS, Smashing Magazine, Justin Tadlock…
• The option to hide the help texts from many areas of WordPress uses the CSS file of the plugin Admin Expert Mode, by Scott Reilly.
