Another annoying change today, on the admin UI for the Classic Editor in free WordPress.com blogs. An ominous ‘greying out’ foggy band across the domain on the left-hand sidebar…

Fogged

Restored to normal

Add the following to your Stylus UserStyle to remove the fog…


.admin-color-blue .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-blue .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-coffee .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-coffee .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-ectoplasm .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-ectoplasm .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-fresh .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-fresh .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-light .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-light .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-midnight .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-midnight .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-modern .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-modern .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-ocean .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-ocean .site__info .site__domain:after, .admin-color-sunrise .site__info .site__title:after, .admin-color-sunrise .site__info .site__domain:after

}

It should be pasted below your existing } as you can see in this screenshot…

I should stress that this and my previous fix relate only to the Classic Editor, and not to the new-fangled one. The new-fangled Editor, in a tacit admission that it was crap after all, is now to get yet another wholesale makeover…

So I’m guessing some of the Classic Editor changes are just unforeseen backwash from the changes on the main editor.
