=== Admin Trim Interface === Contributors: coffee2code Donate link: http://coffee2code.com/donate Tags: admin, interface, minimal, customize, coffee2code Requires at least: 3.1 Tested up to: 3.3 Stable tag: 2.2 Version: 2.2 Customize the WordPress admin pages by selectively removing interface elements. == Description == This plugin uses a combination of WordPress hooks, CSS (when possible), and Javascript (last resort) to removed specified admin interface elements. These elements may be considered by some to be superfluous interface elements that are undesired for one reason or another, so this plugin aids in their visual removal. Each admin interface element is individually selected for removal. The elements that can be removed are: * The header WordPress logo (note that in WP 3.3. this functions as a menu) * The "Search Engines Blocked" link (only found in WP 3.0+ and 3.1+) * The favorites shortcut dropdown (only found in WP 3.0+ and 3.1+) * The "Howdy," greeting before your username * Your username link to your profile * Your avatar (only found in WP 3.3+) * The Dashboard link * The page header icon * The contextual "Help" link * The footer links * The WordPress version in the footer (There is an associated screenshot which points out these different sections.) Note: These settings are global and will affect all users who are able to visit the admin pages.
