## Description

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.

## Installation

 1. Upload the decompressed ‘old-style-admin-ui.zip’ folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’
    directory, or upload the zip file via the WordPress dashboard: Plugins > Add New
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Enjoy the old style of the admin panel 🙂

## FAQ

  What should I do if there is a bug?

Due to the straightforward nature and simplicity of this plugin, chances are it 
will behave flawlessly in all WordPress installations. I’ve tested the plugin in
different environments and I have all confidence it has no bugs or errors. However,
if you spot any issues, feel free to send a message to seo(at)webgraphic.ro

The new UI is awful, can’t show that to a client, it looks broken. This plugin fixes
the ugly. Few minor issues with specific plugins (eg, woocommerce’s notice pink 
buttons) but it can’t cater to every other plugin on wp.org, and a million times
better than without

I absolutely can’t stand the new 5.3 design… thank you SO much for giving me back
the normal styling! 🙂

Thank you very much to the creator of this plugin. It restores the admin area to
a design which I much prefer.

This plugin does exactly what is says and is precisely what I needed. It also comes
in perfect timing when I was just about to lose all hope and thinking of installing
far more complex plugins in order to achieve this, though they would have cluttered
my website with useless functions. Thanks again! PS: This plugin is so lightweight
it produces absolutely no difference in time or speed whatsoever when active, tested
this with a before and after tool and it makes no difference in loading time or 
queries or anything else. The whole css has only the essentials packed in just 7kb
and is minified, nice :))
