body_class hook for admin pages

Question

The body_class hook seem only to work with non-admin pages. When I do

add_filter('body_class', 'add_body_classes');
function add_body_classes($classes) {
        $classes[] = 'myclass';
        return $classes;
}

Is there another hook i should be using if i want to add a class to the body of an admin page?

Answer 1

Admin doesn't use body_class() template tag, use admin_body_class filter too add classes to admin body tag.

Answer 2

one of the hooks i use for editing WP admin/Dashboard admin_head

    function remove_screen_options(){ 

    $hideCSS = '<style>#screen-meta-links { display: none; }</style>';

} 

Will put the css in your admin part

And by using class .wp-admin you could style the body part of admin.

Good luck
