Fancy UI for Breakdance

Warning

This snippet is just a little experiment I have made for myself, so use it at your own risk.
The main purpose was to make the UI a little bit more readable, especially the structure panel. Both mode (dark and light) are supported.

Special thx to Noahj Champion for the PHP code.

A sexier structure panel

The structure panel was way too small, which makes it hard to read, especially when you have many sections.

This new version is a bit more convenient, each section are well separated and the font is a bit bigger.

fancy-ui-structure-before
fancy-ui-structure-after-dark
fancy-ui-structure-after-light

A fancier property panel

  • The breakpoints and hover icons are now always visible. No need to move the mouse around a property to see if we can set different value for each breakpoint, or if the hover effect is available.

  • The Scrollbar looks nicer than the horrible default scrollbar on Windows (work with Chrome. Not sure how it looks like on other browsers and OS).

  • The Unit where moved a little, to make the input field a tad more visible. It doesn't change much but in some case it can be useful, as you can see with the transition duration field:

fancy-ui-properties-before
fancy-ui-properties-after-light
fancy-ui-properties-after-dark

The magic snippet

Copy and paste the following snippet in your fav snippet manager:

<?php

// Load custom styles for the Breakdance editing screen

add_action('breakdance_loaded', function() {
$thisBuilderQuery = $_GET['breakdance'] ?? false;
$thisBrowseQuery = $_GET['mode'] ?? false;
$thisPostIdQuery = $_GET['id'] ?? false;
if (!is_admin() and ($thisBuilderQuery === 'builder')) {
if ($thisBrowseQuery === 'browse' or $thisPostIdQuery != '') {
echo "<style id='fancystyle' type='text/css'>"; ?>

The ugly error!

If you get some PHP warnings or some other weird stuff, you might need to add these lines in your wp-config.php file:

ini_set('display_errors','Off');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
