[wp-hackers] Admin Color Schemes: generic classes for colors?

[Nikola Nikolov]

Hi Dino,

Why don't you try something like this:

function add_color_scheme_class( $class ) {
    $color = get_user_option( 'admin_color' );
    $class .= $color ? " admin-color-{$color} " : ' admin-color-fresh '/*
"fresh" is the default */;

    return $class;
}
add_filter( 'admin_body_class', 'add_color_scheme_class', 10 );

That should add the classes automatically for you - I know that you wanted
a core solution, but I assume for that it would be best to open a
ticket(you can do that here - http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ ).

Greetings,
Nikola

PS: I haven't tested the code, but it should work just fine.
