Moving the WPMU/BP bar to the bottom of the screen a la Facebook?

Hey all,

It pains me to conform to the kings of recreational cyber-stocking, but my user group (18 – 19 y/o freshman) seems simply incapable of understanding a user/option bar at the top of the screen. It’s the largest complaint we get.

It’s a silly problem sure, especially given that I would like to integrate a chat app (which usually lives at the bottom of the screen), but is there an easy way to move the BP bar to the bottom of the screen?

You can do this with CSS in your theme, anyone care to write the styles needed? It should be as simple as switching a top: 0 to bottom: 0 and making sure the menus pop up and not down.

It’s not going to be that easy, after all IE doesnt work that well with something fixated at the bottom of the screen.

Try this, it’s a jQuery plugin.

Only instead of a footer, put your buddybar at the bottom.

One other thing to consider: In the back-end (admin) side your new admin bar location may not play nice with the WP admin theme layout. I had to put a check in the code to see if a user was on an admin page to call the right class
