Many plugins only provide a color icon for the WordPress admin menu. This makes the user interface inconsistent and sometimes confusing because built-in menu icons only use color when a menu is active or moused-over.

This plugin makes all admin icons behave the same, whether correct icons are provided or not. It supports all major browsers, including:

  • Internet Explorer 7+
  • Firefox 3.5+
  • Safari 5+
  • Chrome 17+

The WordPress guidelines for admin icons were pointed out to by Helen Hou Sandi’s great WordPress UI presentation at WordCamp Phoenix 2012.

Download & install the zip archive

The plugin package installer can be downloaded from the WP2E project tab called “code”.

1 – Select the version to download if this option is available otherwise the “latest” version of the main plugin will be used.

2 – After downloading the zip archive install the plugin package installer in you local environment and activate the script from the plugin list.

3 – Under the section “Plugins” of the admin dashboard you should see a new “Dependencies & Licenses” link. Follow the instructions from this panel to finalize the installation of the missing dependencies.

Tips: Use the WP2E panel to add/suggest new dependencies to the local installation. Press F5 in the list of dependencies if the changes are not displayed right away.
