Styling

The drop-down list is a <select> element with class="wp-admin-links". You can style it from your template's style.css file.

The widget has some minimal default styling: a 10px top and bottom margin, and an explicitly set width of 140px to fit inside most sidebars.

Adding or removing your own admin pages

You can add and remove links to admin pages yourself. Useful if you have plugins that create admin pages (or even whole sections). Or if you want to exclude some admin pages from the list.

Have a look inside custom.php, everything is explained in there, including some examples.

Todo

• It might be neat for this plugin to have its own admin page, so adding and removing pages and sections no longer requires editing a PHP file.
