In WordPress, how do I target a specific user and adapt the attached code?

I am trying to change certain elements for a certain user, in the back administration area of WordPress.

I have found the following code which works for a specific role, but how do I change it to target a specific user?

function wpa66834_role_admin_body_class( $classes ) {
    global $current_user;
    foreach( $current_user->roles as $role )
        $classes .= ' role-' . $role;
    return trim( $classes );
}
add_filter( 'admin_body_class', 'wpa66834_role_admin_body_class' );

To clarify: instead of identifying role in the foreach section and then adding the role to the class name, I would like it to identify the user by their specific name or ID, and then add that name or ID to the class name.

You should be able to use get_current_user_id() to (as the name of the function suggests) get the current user's id, and then perform a simple if statement to compare it with a specific ID number.

Example: 

function wpa66834_role_admin_body_class( $classes ) {
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    // Assuming 13 is the user's ID you're targeting
    if( $user_id == 13 )
        $classes .= ' custom-class-for-user-13';
    return trim( $classes );
}
add_filter( 'admin_body_class', 'wpa66834_role_admin_body_class' );

More info on how to use the function can be found here.
