Customizable and easy to change the color, text, image, and link. Live preview to see your TopBar from the Options page. Version 1.4 adds additional CSS options (margin). With this update, it may change how your TopBar looks if you were using a previous version. So test it carefully on your beta site! Version 1.4 works with WordPress 3.3. Version 1.3 adds navigation buttons and allows for more control over the custom CSS. Three new features with version 1.2:
  1. Set a background image, instead of a background color. With a toggle to turn that on or off. I've included a sample image for you to try on your website: wp-topbar_sample_image.jpg.
  2. Set custom CSS for the message and the link text
  3. Set how to align the text: left, center or right
Various options allow you to:
  1. Enable/disable the TopBar without disabling the plugin.
  2. Enter the amount of time (in milliseconds) for the TopBar to appear. Enter 0 for no delay.
  3. Enter the amount of time (in milliseconds) for the TopBar to take to slide down on the page. Enter 0 for no delay.
