Useful and unobtrusive

I wish more plugin authors had herchen’s keep-it-simple sense of software aesthetics. No notice boxes, zero config, does one thing and does it well. Thanks!

by Dennis Bareis

OK but online handles left side top level

Doesn’t handle top admin menu or trimming submenus. It also doesn’t remove dividers.

Must Have !!!
