How Old Style Admin UI works
After I updated WordPress to 5.3, I thought something had gone wrong with the update when I saw those borders in the admin area, the blue color of texts on the form elements and the lack of design subtlety of the UI. So I decided to create a plugin that would undo that.
The plugin styles the WordPress 5.3+ admin panel back to how it was before the 5.3 update. So, if you also disliked the vivid blue texts and strong borders of the form elements, like buttons, inputs and selects, or found them to be way too prominent, this back-to-the-good-old-days “legacy” plugin will allow you to update WordPress to 5.3 and benefit from its code updates, while still retaining all of the previous version’s backend UI styles.
Very very lightweight and easy to use.
