I was waiting for something like that for a while. The only little bad thing, it’s that you are forced to select a border color that does the bar look bigger. I Wanted to removed it, with no success… Keep going ! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8f22865e17dc870e6f65d9d1aec5100d0e54e34bffe0c77463ba1b2410cc4ef3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[First impression and suggestions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-impression-and-suggestions/)󠁿 [vipteam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vipteam/) February 7, 2017 First impression: really works for what is intended. And it works well. Suggestion: Allow visitors to hide or close the bar. Auto hide after X seconds. Position: header/ footer. And all that admin can select from Yes/No. Advantage: Plugin is simple. Responsive. Displaying on the homepage, on single page, all pages. Showing: certain days or permanently. Disadvantage: the button “save” are seen only half. As it was cut horizontally. Maybe you’ve played too much when you’re doing the design, but that’s just my subjective impression. Desired is a simple design. Go ahead, this is great!
