Put things in order and focus on what you need.
We added a 3rd tab under WP Admin Cleaner: Menu Order.
All menu items have a drag-and-drop feature and their icons for easier preview.
At this point only top lever items are available for sorting.

If you are working with Oxygen you know that disable themes, but you still need to deal with update messages from the themes.
Thats why I created Oxygen Bare Minimum Theme that does not need any effort.
Theme is not branded by dPlugins and you can use it for free without any connection with us.
Theme is light and only 10kb with the screenshoot.png
If there is problem with Oxygen you will get blank not branded page with the message:
We opened new world with conditions. Now is finally possible to use WP Conditional Tags and target scripts where you need them.
Under Template we added new option “Custom”. That will open input field where you can write conditional tags. For more are about conditional tags use WordPress Developer Handbook.
Examples:
In case you need specific term archive you can use:
Inside Custom conditions you can also use Logical Operators to combine conditional tags:
&& (And), || (Or) and ! (Not) and get something like is_home() || is_front_page()
Note: you don’t need “;” after “()” on the end.
One of the best features is always speeding up things and save you time. To do that we are now saving things in different way in database.
Once new plugins is installed you will see notice that you need to regenerate files.
Go to the features and hit regenerate button.
Under Scripts Organizer we have added new Admin Submenu “Code Block Order” There you will see list of all your code blocks.
The reason why we didn’t build drag and drop inside Admin is we would need to put more scripts and that would slow down Admin. And not all users need to change the order of scripts. Another reason is on new page we made it lightweight and compact.
In example bellow you can see tree html injection of 3 code blocks Oder 1 (h1), Order 2 (h2) and Order 3 (h3). I have used HTML inject instead of CSS just to showcase preview without opening Inspect.
Biggest pain point once you are in Single Post or Editor (Code Block and SCSS Partial) was navigating to new single post. You needed to switch from Code Settings to Page settings and find it under one of the lists.
Thats why after UX research we decided to give it separate place and new tabs. Code Blocks and SCSS Partials are separate tabs.
Since your hands are already on the keyboard user new shortcuts to navigate even faster.
Key Combination | Action | |
CTRL (⌘) + S | Save | |
CTRL (⌘) + 1 | Script Settings (Tab 1) | New |
CTRL (⌘) + 2 | Page Settings (Tab 2) | New |
CTRL (⌘) + 3 | Code Blocks List (Tab 3) | New |
CTRL (⌘) + 4 | SCSS Partials List (Tab 4) | New |
CTRL (⌘) + 5 | Toggle Focus Mode | New |
CTRL (⌘) + 6 | Toggle Preview | New |
Since many users have a lot of code blocks one of the most requested feature was to sort them with folders.
Folders are bad UX practice with several reasons:
Here is the best example of it.
Blog Archive can be part of theming and can be Archive tag as well.
Before
With Filter in new tab
Fonts are smaller, dimmed and more contrast on section hover.
Since we are now supporting Bricks and Elementor besides Oxygen we have introduced Plugin Name as well.
Plugin palette is available only if plugin is activated.
Edit files on server with FTP and sync back to database.
In case you asking why would you need this:
Beside obvious UI lift, we have changed order of elements:
Title is updated to clearly state that at moment Safe mode is “Not Active” and button is changed from “Go to Safe Mode” to “Enable Safe Mode”, as when you click on it, it will enable Safe Mode.
In case you need to move code files away from uploads folder. After you changed path hit Save Changes and then Regenerate Files.
If you want to place code outside of the WordPress root you can use "
../
"
Once you are in focus mode and only code editor is visible you should have all that you need so you don’t switch back and forth. In previous version we introduced CTRL + S to save and now we introduced Preview button to toggle preview iframe.
Till now we have used jQuery UI Resize, but that library have problem is inside element is iFrame. We moved to Split.js that works much smoother.
You can select multiple code blocks and then delete all at once
Or you can delete them one by one by hovering same as any other post or page
Since we are storing Monaco Editor Code in our plugin it was silly not to have Monaco experience if you want to edit Plugin or Theme on the fly.
You need to go to the features and enable it as it is disabled by default.
Everywhere and Admin only now show only PHP button and comment as rest is not working anyway
Before
After
Server time is moved down to be above time conditions
All conflicts with PHP8 are fixed now.
We are using now latest version of SCSSPHP Library
For night owls and developers that are using dark themes in other applications, we are bringing dark theme in WordPress admin. The idea is to save their eyes from constantly switching between dark and light theme (WordPress default).
The entire theme is only 3kb and will have no impact on admin performance. Theme is loaded only inside WP admin and will not impact website front end.
It is disabled by default and you can enable it under the new 3rd tab (Themes).
Toggle WP Admin switch.
Enjoy in lightweight Gutenberg dark theme that is only 2kb. Save your eyes and focus on the content.
This theme is separated from WP Admin and Post Classic view. Some users disable Gutenberg and we didn’t want to include it with the rest if Gutenberg is disabled.
Theme does not interact with the content.
Oxygen will disable your theme and you will end up with dark panel but you will still have big white background. If you are using Oxygen enable 3rd switch instead 2nd:
Note: If you are using 3rd disable 2nd option.
If you have an edge case problem with some specific plugin or you just want to push styling a little more to be more suitable to your taste we made it possible.
If you trigger switch “Inject Custom CSS” you will get a code editor to write your own styles.
The code editor is not extra burden as we reusing code mirror that is already shipped with WordPress.

You need to go to the Features and enable Oxygen 3.8 Fixes.
In Oxygen 3.9 you don’t need drag handles anymore. You can grab elements without them from whatever part of the element you want.
That’s why we removed them from UI completely to clean up UI. But since we released it before Oxygen pushed the update users with 3.8.1 have problems dragging elements.
Oxygen 3.9.1 Introduced an entirely new HTML structure of the “Structure panel” and we optimized CSS for new Oxygen. It was pointless to work on something that will be replaced by Oxygen anyway in a matter of days.
This will be bring coloring and the icons as well to the Structure panel.
The toggle was now working if you select the default theme. It was doing fallback to the dark theme.
If you enable show breakpoint size it was covering clean values icon. Now icons are always showing and they are accessible.
Even if we use different coding approaches the same values are copied since we are copying Oxygen values and not creating new ones. That’s why we are using the same JSON decoding standards and if someone gives you clipboard values you can paste it with Swiss Knife as well.
You can log in to the shop dashboard and download Swiss Knife 1.3.7
Optimized for Oxygen 3.9 >
Zebra stripes are removed and active raws are now coloured with blueish background and blue line on the left.
Inspiration for a design is from the Visuals Studio Code and Gutenberg. We took visual studio code is inspiration since we are using the same editor is them Monaco editor.
Use shortcut Command + S to save, and work without distractions.
Now it’s possible and much easier to edit oxygen style sheets without need to load oxygen builder.
On the left side I will have navigator to switch between stylesheets. They will be sorted into the groups same as Oxygen is doing.
Oxygen colours or are automatically displayed if oxygen builder is activated and you registered global colours.
They are available in Code Blocks (CSS and SCSS), SCSS Partials and Oxygen Stylesheets.
