Admin Menus Fixed

What you need, where you need it – and when. For WordPress 3.8 to 6.9+ – Backward compatibile to WordPress 3.5 (see Other Notes) Works with: Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu 3.6+ and AG Custom Admin 1.2.5+ Admin Menus Fixed Three Ways: As a companion to Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu AND/OR AG Custom Admin OR Standalone (WordPress 3.5-3.7) New in v1.4 Now Responsive down to phone sizes. Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu header background automatically changes to high contrast when displayed on smaller screens. New in v1.4 Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu Header Gradient now wraps when the header does; improving the look and readability! Consolidates the WordPress Toolbar and Ozh’s menu and makes them both always readily available at the top of your window; no matter where you happen to be scrolled on a long page. Incorporates HoverIntent to chill the Toolbar drop-down menu hair trigger, so now you can overshoot Ozh’ Menu without the Toolbar menu falsely stepping on it; causing you to move away until it closes, so that you can get to what you were going for. Way easier to work this way. Fast. Efficient. Automatically adjusts to the WordPress Toolbar display state; whether disabled by Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu or AG Custom Admin. Standalone: (Depreciated) The WordPress Devs have taken a page from this plugin’s book, pulling the concept into core by fixed-positioning the Toolbar and Admin Menus in versions 3.8+, so the plugin code is shrinking. Kinda goes against the new direction of pulling code out of core and having plugins handle the function if you want/need it, but I’m glad that the concept has been adopted; because it was long overdue. The plugin is returning to its own core purpose, that of enhancing Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu, and I’m OK with that. – see Other Notes For the backstory and a comprehensive overview of how the plugin got its start, see the Fixed Admin Menus – The Plugin post series. See What Else We Do: Blown, Cast & Fused Glass and Kinetic Sculpture GlassSculpture.org’s Blog Space & Astronomical Art | Advanced Concept Design Imperial Earth’s Blog Bengal and Maine Coon Rescue Standalone: (WordPress 3.5-3.7) The WordPress Toolbar and standard Admin Menu along the left side are made fixed-position in both expanded and collapsed modes; eliminating a lot of scrolling. See the Screenshots for all of the combinations.
