Consider a collapsible "Package Control Panel" #577

Open AARON-CLARK opened 11 months ago

AARON-CLARK commented 11 months ago

Is there any merit to making the package control panel collapsible to the left? Perhaps it would really alleviate some real-estate issues we have on these tabs. If it is collapsible, I'd want it to be really huge on the left hand side, making a "mega button" like below so that it's ultra-visible:

If we were to pursue a solution like this, we would lose our ability to quickly see what package is selected. Therefore, we would need to add [package name] for prominent display on each applicable tab.

Inspiration for a toggle-able side panel:

In particular, I like how the icons are still visible, so you know where the main elements of the side bar reside, even while its in it's closed position. Even when collapsed, we should test out still showing the package name, version, and upload date. Per conversations with @jthompson-arcus, we agree that we'd need to start intentionally labelling the main panel with the package name if the sidebar disappears by default. We should also include a button to "pin" the side panel in place, removing it's collapsible function.
