Admin bar - remove on disable - Feature Request #19

Closed jeffmcneill closed 8 years ago

jeffmcneill commented 8 years ago

The menu item Admin bar takes up a lot of precious horizontal pixel space.

"Maintenance Mode: Enabled" "Maintenance Mode: Disabled"

Having this appear all the time even when the Disabled state is going to be nearly all the time doesn't make sense. Also the text is unnecessarily long.

Feature request: either have the Admin bar item not displayed when Maintenance Mode is Disabled, OR have an option to have it or not in settings
Feature request: change the text displayed in the Admin bar a lot shorter, such as: Maint:On / Maint:Off. Same meaning, less screen real estate.

Hey @jeffmcneill !

Thanks for your request, that's actually something I've been thinking about so I'm gonna definitely look in to this! Maybe not the setting - as I don't want to overcrowd it but possibly the label - and I was thinking the same - hide it if it's not enabled - but then I know that these kind of features cause lot of confusion - if something appears and disappears - believe it or not, many people find this very very confusing and they are complaining that it's broken!

Thank you, I'll look in to this soon!

I agree that an option would be overcrowding, so just an idea with icons: When off: https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/#hammer When on: https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/#hammer Maintenance (and red background)

lukasjuhas commented 8 years ago

@gedeminas Yeah, hammer seems like quite sensible icon for this.

Might go that route..
