   I'm customizing 2.7 from menu.php and can't find the Widgets entry in the Appearance menu. It obviously does not exist as static text. Anyone know how to delete it from the menu.
   TIA

   I'm not trying to make them appear, I'm trying to make them disappear.

   I already deleted the editor since I edit from notepad locally. Now I'm trying to delete Widgets..don't use them, never will.

   See if lines 272-278 in dashboard.php look like anything you want.

   /wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php.

   a quick grep for href="widgets.php" got two hits.

   Thanks Clayton.
   I actually resolved this one by editing functions.php. You just need to comment out the submenu line. Very strange how they did not include this in the menu.php file.

   /**
    * Append the Widgets menu to the themes main menu.
    *
    * @since 2.2.0
    * @uses $submenu The administration submenu list.
    */
   function wp_widgets_add_menu() {
   	global $submenu;
   	//$submenu['themes.php'][7] = array( __( 'Widgets' ), 'switch_themes', 'widgets.php' );
   	ksort( $submenu['themes.php'], SORT_NUMERIC );
   }

   Good question. I think it might be code bloat...that's when the slopiness starts.
