WordPress Admin Themes: Rebrand and Customize the WordPress Admin

How do you like the default WordPress admin ? Some people express distaste for it saying it’s stuck in the past design-wise and can be hard to learn for beginners. Personally I have never had a problem with it – that may be because I have used most versions and spend so much time in there that everything comes naturally.

The design is nothing special but it is functional, if however, you would like to change the look of it you now have a few options open to you.
