Overview

Shadow Screen Options is used in a multisite environment to allow blog-specific screen layout options
for users. Blogs on which it is not active will share user-set preferences (the default
WordPress behavior).

This is most useful in situations where users have several blogs, and have different sets of plugins
active on each blog.
