Help
I've followed Otto's guide for making a plugin options page.
My problem now is, I need to find a way to tie this in to the code I'm using to add a stylesheet to the dashboard.
At the moment, the plugin basically alters the WP dashboard look by adding a stylesheet. I'd like the options page to allow the user to choose different colour schemes. My idea for this is that each stylesheet is in a dropdown and the user chooses from this and this then affects which stylesheet is loaded.
I'm not currently using wp_enqueue styles, but I plan to. My code so far is below but as I've explained currently the options page is not actually affecting the plugin and this is what I need to do.
Any ideas or help would be massively appreciated and I will fully credit anybody that helps.
