### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-1608/)󠁿

 [goodsuccess](https://profiles.wordpress.org/goodsuccess/) September 19, 2016

This plugin works well for me. It enables me to make changes without having to mess
with the core CSS files. It does not always work for all the sites I manage but 
it does the job.

### 󠀁[A must-have plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-must-have-plugin-130/)󠁿

 [CrouchingBruin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crouchingbruin/) September 3, 2016

This is one of the plugins that I install on all of the sites that I manage, even
ones which have their own CSS option. One nice thing about this plugin, that I’ve
not seen with other CSS plugins, is that the stylesheet is read in on the admin 
dashboard as well, which allows you to style the admin dashboard if needed (make
font sizes bigger, hide controls you don’t need or don’t want your other admins 
to accidentally use). It hasn’t been updated in over three years, but there’s been
no need as far as I can tell. It does just one thing very simply, and does it well.
If any improvement can be suggested, I would like to see the stylesheet become active
on the new Customizer as well.
