Cant save customizer after installing this plugin

This plugin now pretty much destroys the customizer as well as UX builder. Do not download. Very buggy

Good

This admin theme is particularly well thought for High resolution screens so it’s better than default theme.

Amazing support

Not only is this plugin a true gem, the support is outstanding. I recommend upgrading to the pro version, it is absolutely worth it!
