TeenyBar is a lightweight plugin designed for WordPress sites that modifies how the WordPress Admin Bar appears on the front end while users are logged in. Instead of displaying the Admin Bar at all times, it keeps the interface clean by hiding the bar until the mouse enters a specific hotzone. This approach is intended to prevent persistent interface elements from interfering with design reviews or screenshots, as no show button, toggle, or icon remains visible on the front end. Users can configure a single hotzone from three options: the top-left corner, the top edge, or the top-right corner of the page. When the mouse moves into the chosen area, the Admin Bar becomes visible and the page content is pushed down by the height of the bar. As soon as the mouse leaves the Admin Bar, the page returns to its original position, with the top offset reset to zero. The plugin provides a color picker to change the background color of the Admin Bar, allowing for some customization of its appearance. TeenyBar does not alter the behavior of the Admin Bar within the WordPress admin dashboard (wp-admin), where it continues to function as usual. TeenyBar is delivered as a WordPress plugin and is available through the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.
