 * 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 : )

 * 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

 * 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/](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.
