## Beskrivelse

WordPress 7.0 changed the default admin color scheme to «Modern», renaming the long-
standing classic palette to «Fresh» and migrated existing users over to the new 
default. This plugin quietly restores the classic Fresh scheme for every user, exactly
once, without taking away anyone’s freedom to switch back later.

 * Sets the color scheme to **Fresh** for newly registered users.
 * Migrates each existing user from «Modern» (or no preference) back to «Fresh» 
   the next time they visit the dashboard, exactly once.
 * Leaves users who already chose another scheme (Light, Blue, Midnight, Ocean, 
   Coffee, Ectoplasm, Sunrise, etc.) completely alone.
 * Restores the classic «Fresh» look on the login screen too, the blue WordPress
   logo, the classic blue submit button, and the classic blue input focus ring.
 * Cleans up after itself when deactivated, reverting every migrated user back to«
   Modern» and removing its own user metadata.
 * No settings page, no public front-end assets, no scheduled jobs, no mass updates
   on activation. The login styles are printed only while the plugin is active and
   disappear the moment it is deactivated or deleted.

## Installasjon

 1. Upload the `restore-old-admin-colors` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
    the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Visit any admin page — you’ll be back on the classic Fresh color scheme.

To uninstall, deactivate the plugin from the Plugins screen. The plugin reverts 
every user it migrated and removes its own metadata automatically; you can then 
safely delete the plugin folder.

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

### Will this change custom colors I (or my users) have already picked?

No. The plugin only flips users whose admin color scheme is empty or set to the 
new 7.0 «Modern» default. Any explicit choice — Light, Blue, Midnight, Ocean, Coffee,
Ectoplasm, Sunrise, etc. — is preserved as-is. After the one-time restore, users
can pick any scheme on their profile page and the plugin will not interfere again.

### Does this slow down my site?

No. There are no front-end assets, no settings page, and no expensive database loops
on activation. The plugin runs two micro-checks against the object cache only when
an admin is logged in, and after the first restore for a given user even those checks
short-circuit immediately.

### What happens when I deactivate the plugin?

The plugin cleans up after itself. On deactivation it reverts every user it migrated
back to the WordPress 7.0 default («Modern»), but only if that user is still on «
Fresh» — anyone who later switched to a different scheme keeps their choice. The
plugin’s own user metadata is also removed, leaving no leftover state in the database.

possible plugin that only changes this fast and quick. I really love it. Recommend

## Endringslogg

#### 1.0.1

 * Added: restores the classic «Fresh» styling on the login screen (wp-login.php)—
   the classic blue WordPress logo, the classic blue submit button (with hover/focus/
   active states), and the classic blue input focus ring.
 * The login styles are output via the `login_enqueue_scripts` hook only while the
   plugin is active; nothing is persisted, so they disappear immediately on deactivation
   or deletion with no cleanup required.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
 * Restores the classic «Fresh» admin color scheme for users on the new WordPress
   7.0 «Modern» default, exactly once per user.
 * Sets «Fresh» as the default color scheme for newly registered users.
 * Preserves all explicit user color-scheme choices.
 * On deactivation, reverts every migrated user back to «Modern» and removes the
   plugin’s own user metadata.
