 * Is it possible to remove the 2 boxes in the control panel (The boxes that have
   the text “Drag boxes here” inside them.)?
 * Example: [http://www.robwillemse.net/dashboard.jpg](http://www.robwillemse.net/dashboard.jpg)

 * To remove these boxes, you just need to add some css to your admin dashboard:
 *     ```
       #dashboard-widgets-wrap .empty-container{
       display:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * As I know, Adminimize did not have add css to admin features, so you need to 
   using a plugin to add css to your admin area.
    Or using this snippet:
 *     ```
       add_action("admin_head" , function(){
          echo "<style>#dashboard-widgets-wrap .empty-container{display:none}</style>";
       });
       ```
   
 * copy and paste this to bottom of your theme **functions.php**
 * Hope that helps 🙂

 * You can also add custom options in Adminimize, use the css selector. See the 
   how to on the wiki: [https://github.com/bueltge/Adminimize/wiki](https://github.com/bueltge/Adminimize/wiki)
