In the collapsed state the text will be hidden, showing the icon only. On hover the menu will be temporarily expand, when the user's cursor moves away from the menu it will return to it's collapsed state. The collapsed menu's sub-items should still be accessible via tabbing. The user's chosen state for the menu should be saved for future sessions.

We've had to bump this from v4.1 due to technical challenges. I'll leave this open for anyone else who would like to make an attempt.

It might also be a good idea to be able to just re-size the windows on the fly. There's so much white space in the left hand window that is not needed most of the time. It would then allow more columns to be added to the hand pane that contain more information that other users may need to display instead of going in to the device to get the info. Small screens need the ability to be able to re-size.
