WordPress 3.8 “Parker”

The latest version 3.8 is now available and features some of the biggest changes we have seen to WordPress yet including a new admin interface design and colour scheme. Don’t be alarmed at the design changes, the same functionality we all love is still there.

WordPress has gotten a facelift. 3.8 brings a fresh new look to the entire admin dashboard. Gone are overbearing gradients and dozens of shades of grey — bring on a bigger, bolder, more colorful design!

WordPress just got a colorful new update. Including eight new admin color schemes so you can pick the one that suits you best. Color schemes can be previewed and changed from your Profile page.

Drag-drag-drag. Scroll-scroll-scroll. Widget management can be complicated. With the new design, we’ve worked to streamline the widgets screen.

Have a large monitor? Multiple widget areas stack side-by-side to use the available space. Using a tablet? Just tap a widget to add it.

Also, don’t forget to grab the WordPress apps for on the go use across your iPhone, smartphones and tablet devices.
