 hi
 i wanted to customize the sidebar in admin area to the left it is called
 adminmenu is css
 by customizing i mean just to change the color ( tho i get a bit carried
 away and went to other places to change them too like active and inactive
 plugins background and the p part of all of the site but its not the
 matter now i just wanna know what did i do wrong that this adminmenu
 doesnt even work at all costs that i tried and think of)
 so i wrote a new css file so it would conclude all the changes


 {{{
  #adminmenu{
     background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #a41aa1 , #8408b0);
 }
   p{
     background-image: linear-gradient(to left, rgb(140, 0, 255), rgb(255,
 0, 64)) !important;
     -webkit-background-clip: text !important;
     color: transparent !important;
 }
     .plugin-update-tr{
     background-color: black !important;
 }
   .inactive {
     background-color: rgb(51, 255, 0) !important;
   }
   .active {
     background-color: rgb(214, 255, 30) !important;
   }
   body{
    background-image: linear-gradient(to left, rgb(173, 0, 251), rgb(253,
 24, 0)) !important;
   }
 }}}

 so yea and i import it to all wp-admin and its variants
 it didnt work then i tried changing the adminmenu parts (all of the
 variants too)
 so whereever i find a

 `background-color: black`


 i would change it to


 `background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #a41aa1 , #8408b0);`


 and again it didnt work
 so yea im confused and got no idea why it didnt worked too
 if u have anyidea please do tell

 Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

 For site help, please use the support forums.
 https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

 If you want to add a separate CSS file for new admin styles, you would
 need to enqueue it within the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_enqueue_scripts/
 'admin_enqueue_scripts' action].

 Or you could just add your styles with a plugin such as
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/ Simple Custom CSS and JS].
