WordPress is a very powerful CMS. It has huge ecosystem (plugins, themes, community).
Can be used for almost any kind of website / application.

Thank you for this plugin that makes the admin dashboard easy on the eyes. So far
so good, works with WP Version 6.4.3. Instantly makes the admin dashboard feel more
current, no complicated settings, just install and activate.

Although the changes it introduces are subtle, Custom Admin UI brings an air of 
subdued elegance and order to the WordPress dashboard. I have installed in on all
of my websites and plan to deploy it in all future projects for 3rd parties I will
be working on. For everybody who seeks to improve the looks of the WordPress dashboard,
or simply wants a small change after spending many hundreds or thousands of hours
in the WP back-end, Custom Admin UI comes with my strong recommendations, especially
when paired with Admin Color Schemes or a similar tool to add more varied color 
combinations to the dashboard UI. Kudos to the developers!

Though the features are still minimal at this time, but it works good! This plugin
makes my admin area less-boring. It looks clean and more beautiful. Now almost on
every new WordPress install, I install this plugin. Even I also installed to old/
existing WordPress installs 🙂
