## Maelezo

The WordPress admin bar is powerful — but it gets cluttered quickly. SimpleBar exists
to give you back control of your WordPress admin experience.

SimpleBar is a free, lightweight tool that lets you hide what you don’t need and
keep your workflow tidy.

SimpleBar gives you:
 * Custom colours for your Admin Bar (front‑end & admin) and
the left Admin Menu. * Per‑role controls: hide menu items, add custom links with
drag & drop re-order. * Live appearance preview and accessibility checks while editing
colours. * Seven built-in colour presets. * Import/export tools for moving settings
between sites. * Discovery of third-party admin bar menu items for role-based hiding.*
Front-end admin bar visibility rules by role and post type.

SimpleBar is both free and open-source, and is designed for developers, web builders,
site owners, and anyone who values a clean admin experience.

### Notes

 * Reordering is best‑effort. WordPress and plugins may add nodes after our hook
   runs.
