This plugin uses a combination of WordPress hooks, CSS (when possible), and Javascript (last resort) to removed specified admin interface elements. These elements may be considered by some to be superfluous interface elements that are undesired for one reason or another, so this plugin aids in their visual removal.
Each admin interface element is individually selected for removal. The elements that can be removed are:
<ul>
<li>The header WordPress logo (bear in mind this functions as a menu) in the admin bar</li>
<li>The home icon next to your site’s name in the admin bar</li>
<li>The “Howdy,” greeting before your username in the admin bar</li>
<li>Your username link to your profile in the admin bar</li>
<li>Your avatar in the admin bar</li>
<li>The Dashboard menu link in the sidebar</li>
<li>The contextual “Help” link</li>
<li>The footer links</li>
<li>The WordPress version in the footer</li>
</ul>
(There is an associated screenshot which points out these different sections.)
Note: These settings are global and will affect all users who are able to visit the admin pages.

Admin Trim Interface

Customize the WordPress admin pages by selectively removing interface elements on a per-user basis.

When you just want to focus on what you’re writing, the default WordPress editor can feel cluttered, with distractions surrounding your content.
Minimalist Editor turns your post editor into a digital typewriter, with nothing else left on the screen than what you’re writing.
Inspired by editors such as WriteRoom.
Works by installing the plugin and <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/content/editors/distraction-free-writing/#enabling-distraction-free-writing" rel="nofollow ugc">activating Distraction Free Writing mode</a>.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Typewriter style post editor</li>
<li>Light and dark mode</li>
<li>Sans serif typeface option</li>
</ul>

Minimalist editor

Very well executed minimal writing UI. I love Byword for Mac and this plugin brings that kind of true distraction free writing to the WordPress editor. Nice work! Featured on the iThemes Plugin Roundup for October 2018.

Excellent Minimalist UI for WP

No fuzz post editor - more typewriter, less command prompt.
