What It Does

A simple plugin that lets you add your custom CSS to style the WordPress Admin. Works with WordPress single install and WordPress multisites.

Admin CSS MU uses CSSTidy to clean and optionally minify CSS. CSS is only minified while using it. The editor always shows un-minified CSS for easy editing.
