Very good plugin, I can preview my website in detail without logging out.

I always had this problem, and while searching I came across your plugin. It’s great that you can open and close the admin so easily

by ofihsdfoi

does not make it easy to slide back out

the restore button is supposed to be an arrow but it’s showing as a magnifying glass which does not work to slide it back out. it’s broken or something but it’s not usable.
