Manipulating the body tag of the admin panel

  • Hi,

    I am working intense with WordPress as a CMS and right now I am looking for smart solutions for manipulating the visual appearance of the admin panel.

    What I would like to do is the following:
    <body id=”pageID-11″>
    or
    <body id=”categoryID-3″>

    To explain:
    I am using a lot of custom fields (in combination with the Plugin Custom Field Template) to extend the normal interface and giving my clients the opportunaty to work with more than the WordPress offers default options.

    In some cases I would like to change the edit screen for pages and post by hiding some elements – for example the container for the content editor. It may sound like nonsense but indeed in some special situation is would be very helpful. I can imagine some other purposes but this one here is one that I amhave been looking for quite a while.
    There is so far no way to hide specific elements in the edit screen only on one page or in a specific category.

    I know from my experience with CSS that an easy way to manipulate div container depending on a body id is a very reliable way to work with.

    What I would like to know if there is any way to use the functions.php to manipulate the body tag in the admin panel or to create a new container around all the other content in the admin panel.

    If I have a body tag like this <body id=”pageID-11″> I can define in a CSS file that I load into the admin panel whatever I want.

    It would be great to have a solution for this idea!
