If it minimized to a "Hamburger" icon, that would be pretty standard and intuitive Bongo Prophet Aug 2023 #3

Yip, "Align Left" for the right side of screen taking up the whole width. As DU3 is now. UTUSN Aug 2023 #5

But I don't think it would be too difficult to include as an option. If you removed the sidebar what would you want to happen -- the right side of the screen just filling the space and taking up the whole width?

... and presumably shift into mobile device mode.

That's okay for now.

Otherwise I'm enjoying the new features!

Thank You!

Sometimes I have 2 windows side-by-side on a monitor, and this would help a lot.

But I think something like this would definitely be possible.
