Depending on the end-users of your site, you may not want to entirely disable Toolbar and Overlay, but rather limit them to a certain user role. Meaning: - Site builders can use admin_menu. - Site moderators and users can use whatever. Unfortunately, this scenario isn't really supported by Drupal's user roles and permissions system, since user role permissions are usually set up with additive permissions (and merged together for the current user) - unless you - either duplicate all permissions in two roles and assign those roles exclusively (either one or the other) to those separate user groups - or have two additional roles which only contain the respective permissions to use admin_menu or Toolbar/foo. It gets even messier if you think about per-user options. Luckily, admin_menu can still be suppressed. But AFAIK, neither Toolbar nor Overlay allow other modules to suppress them. sun
