<p>The plugin automatically hides unused Admin Menu items and adds search box for menu items</p>
<p>If you use a lot of plugins – each of them adds their own admin menu item. The admin menu grows more and more. And though you don’t use the majority of menu items, they bother you to find the certain menu item.<br />
This small plugin solves this issue AUTOMATICALLY. It means you don’t need to enable or disable some menu items manually. If you use a menu item it is on the menu if you don’t use it a certain time (which you can set in the settings) – it will be hidden but you’ll have access to them anyway.</p>

<li>Show the number of Posts with each post status in the “Right Now” / “At a Glance” admin Dashboard Widget.</li>
<li>Show post status icons with each status at the top of admin post list pages.</li>
