Any plans on making the admin bar into a module or something so that it can be persistant even when not in the admin section of the site? I love your toolbar, I just wish it was as useful as the default one in that regard.

Interesting thought... I can rip it into a module for you!

That would be amazing. Right now, not having that toolbar up there is the only thing from me totally committing to this theme. Great work, I've been sharing it with everyone I work with, you've gained some new fans.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I can easily rip it into a module, but it requires Twitter Bootstrap, so it would be adding an entire front end framework for just the menu. I guess I could add a Twitter Bootstrap module that adds Twitter Bootstrap files, and make the admin menu require the Bootstrap module. That might be useful on multiple levels, you could use Bootstrap elements in your administration pages independent of BBB. BBB works pretty well for an admin theme, but I'm still working a few things out on it. :) My hope is to make it an awesome administration theme as well, but that takes time and tweaking. :)

Of course! I had started an admin theme based on Twitter Bootstrap as well, but other projects kicked up a bit and couldn't find the time to keep working on it. Keep up the good work, I'll keep watching the repo!

Hmm. Well, I thought about adding the admin menu into a module but since Twitter Bootstrap is requires jQuery > 1.7, and because bootstrap is such a pretty framework, I think it might be better to use the default toolbar for the administration menu.

I've been using BBB as my admin menu for the past few weeks. I have really liked it so far, might be worth a shot for you!
