    Hey y’all. Loving the update so far but since it’s new I can’t find documentation for editing the admin bar and the old functions don’t seem to be working. Can anyone help a poor old noob with these?

    – Change background color / font for admin bar
    – Use admin bar instead of BuddyBar (1.5)
    – Remove plugin links from admin bar (WangGuard, Yoast SEO, & WTC)
    – Fix ugly cell spacing in user drop down (above name)
    – Add BP notifications and user links to user drop down (admin bar)

    Thanks in advance for your time : )

    See if that at least gets you on the right road….

    Judging by that – this is out of my scope lol

    I have a better understanding of how the admin bar works, but I’m not experienced enough to even know where to change the coding : /

    I’m almost certain you will see fully fleshed out tutorials begin popping up immediately for this.

    I personally plan on looking into it myself to write one up. It only takes about a week after an update for good tutorials to start appearing

    Change background color / font for admin bar

    http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/rainbowify/

    You can check the code in his plugin for how to do that one 😉

    Use admin bar instead of BuddyBar (1.5)

    Add this to your wp-config.php

    define( 'BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR', false );

    Remove plugin links from admin bar (WangGuard, Yoast SEO, & WTC)

    I believe most of those plugins have a checkbox to remove themselves… could be wrong.

    Add BP notifications and user links to user drop down (admin bar)

    Wait till the next version of BP, where they do this.

    Or … http://tech.ipstenu.org/2011/customize-wp-admin-bar/ Most of that still works on 3.3

    This is more like what I was hoping for, thank you : )

    I still can’t believe there’s never been a full on admin bar customizing plugin. Some replace images, some add menu items, some let you change the color. But there’s not one that does both.

    Ah, days I wish I was better at coding…

    The problem with a plugin is that there would be way too many options to make it manageable or sustainable.

    Yeah; that makes sense.

    I dunno, I found a “Dashboard Tweaks” plug-in that has alot of it already figured out. If that plug-in and a less intense Rainbowfy could have a baby, I’d be stoked.
