A set of custom tweaks to the WordPress Admin Bar that was introduced in WP 3.1. Since version 3.3.5 of this plugin, it is only compatible with WP 3.
This plugin has been completely re-written to interface with the WP 3.1 admin bar, and adds some much requested / great features to the WP Admin Bar. Due to API changes in WP 3.3, this plugin is no longer compatible with earlier versions of WordPress. It requires WP 3.3 or greater. If you are using a version prior to WP 3.3, please download and install version 3.3.4 of this plugin, as the latest version will not work for you.

ToDo:
Use the built in WordPress Plugin Installer via Plugins -> Add New, searching for “WordPress Admin Bar Improved”
OR
Extract all files from the ZIP file, making sure to keep the file structure intact, and then upload the plugin’s folder to /wp-content/plugins/

This should result in the following file structure:
- wp-content - plugins - wordpress-admin-bar-improved | readme.txt | screenshot-1.png | wpab-admin.css | wpabi-admin.js | wpabi.css | wpabi.js | wpabi.php
Then just visit your admin area and activate the plugin on the Plugins screen.
You can reset the settings for WordPress Admin Bar Improved by simply deactivation and then re-activating the plugin through the Plugin Admin interface.
In your WordPress admin dashboard, click the Settings -> WPABI menu item. (Taking suggestions for a better menu name.)
In the admin area of your site, click “Menus” under the “Appearance” menu. Create a new menu named WPABI
or something like that. Add whatever menu items you want to it, and save the menu. In the box titled “Theme Locations” on the “Menus” screen, select the menu you created in the Admin Bar Improved
dropdown select list, and hit save. After that, your menu items will appear in your admin bar for both logged in and logged out users.!
