How to design a table based on css values set from admin/dashboard

There’s a discussion of a very similar question here.

As in that question, there are a few suggested options, each with their own pros and cons.

For what you describe, it sounds like you might want to consider the idea of generating a CSS file every time the admin changes any settings on this page. This is the fastest option because you don’t need to re-do this work on every page load.

I’m not sure if there’s an easy way to do this (perhaps someone else will know a way), so if you like that approach it seems like you need to do these steps:

1. Make sure that from PHP you can write to a .css file somewhere. Perhaps make a new plugin for this feature and put the code and generated CSS file in the plugin.
2. Make sure that the .css file can be easily enqueue’d from WordPress
3. Write a script which takes all of your options from wp_options and writes a complete CSS file
4. Hook that script so that it re-generates the CSS every time the admin page is saved.
