DevKit Admin Menu Styler reads the admin menu live and lists every top-level heading that can safely be styled. Each heading gets its own color picker plus controls for size, bold and italic.
Because selectors are built from the menu’s real id attribute (or link when no id exists), styling also works for headings added by other plugins and keeps working after a WordPress update.
Features:
- Text color via the built-in WordPress color picker
- Text size (px)
- Bold and italic
- Reset button per heading
- Diagnostics tab: a read-only overview of the full menu structure ($menu and $submenu), including position, raw id, rendered DOM id, link, capability and CSS classes
- No external connections – everything runs locally
The plugin is fully translation ready. The source language is English; a Swedish (sv_SE) translation is included.

Frequently asked questions.
Does the plugin affect the menu for all users?
Yes, the saved styles show in the admin menu for anyone who can see each heading. Only administrators can change the settings.
Can I style submenus?
The plugin styles top-level headings. The Diagnostics tab already lists submenus for reference; styling support for submenus may come in a later version.
