Refined Admin Dashboard

Refined Admin Dashboard is a free WordPress plugin that redraws every admin screen, in dark or light. The choice is applied before the first paint, so the old interface never flashes past.

It styles WordPress's own components instead of replacing them, so plugins built on the standard screens are redrawn too, WooCommerce included. Page builders and plugins with their own full interface are detected and left alone.

The menu is grouped into themed sections, resizable and collapsible, and an editor lets you reorder, move, hide or promote any entry without code. Notices from WordPress and plugins wait in one counter. The dashboard is composed by drag and drop, with one named layout per role. Your logo and accent colour go all the way to the login screen.

It also includes ten small tools that replace nine plugins, and the full media library of Refined Media Library: folders, collections, and a one-click import from FileBird, Real Media Library or HappyFiles.

Eight interface languages. No Pro version. Deactivate it and the admin is back to how it was.
