  • Life Saver!

    Simple plug-in that saves you from a white admin screen (3 dark themes included). Great when you already have dark mode bundled with your Theme frontend (but not on the back). This admin mode should be in the WP Core. Thanks.

    THE CANDY TRAIL
  • I like it very useful.

    Feels very nice and not buggy like the others, thanks!My eyes dont hurt anymore!
