BuddyPress.org

Just installed buddypress and testing it out. I wanted to build in registration/login into my theme but I see the buddypress functions are all in a separate toolbar. That may or may not work. Some questions:

1. Can I hide the wordpress icon and the wordpress links (including dashboard access) from the left hand side of the admin bar? This will cause brand confusion and functionality confusion as there is more than 1 place to view/edit profile. I don’t want anyone to see/access any of the native wordpress pages

2. can I create my own register/login buttons and links to place within my theme and send the user to registration/login in that way?

Thanks so much!
