[Help] Can you make sidebery behave like arc

[Ahamed07]

Already looked at the Wiki? - https://github.com/soulhotel/FF-ULTIMA/wiki

yes

Describe the issue:

can you make it to behave like arc side bar ?

Expected behavior:

Instead of hovering exactly into the sidebery or the native verticle tab of ff-ultima if i move the mouse all the way to the side it should expand also is it possible to completely hide sidebery or the native verticle tab of ff-ultima and show/expand only if the mouse is all the way to the side of the sidebery

Platform/Desktop:

• OS: Mac
• Browser Version: Firefox 128

Mac when in fullscreen - titlebar buttons dissappear

Issue is fixed for the next release version.

Behave like Arc

Cannot be done. Arc browser has a lot more control over sidebar and hover manipulation. I can technically move the sidebar over - to the exact corner of the browser so that hovering the far edge of the browser triggers it, but this conflicts with the design of the theme.

There IS a user preference, ultima.xstyle.squared, it gives you the ability to remove all margins, borders, and rounded corners - letting you hover the far edge of the screen/browser to trigger the sidebar/tabs. Try it out and you'll see.

And I just created another preference (not in the current version) called ultima.xstyle.squished that does the same thing, while trying to keep the theme's rounded aesthetic, so this may be a solution.

Completely hiding tabs/sidebar

Sidebar can be done, Tabs no. Breakage occurs with the tabs when both are in place. (wip)

You can get this patched version here - or go to the release page, scroll down and get ffultima1.8.5.i.124.zip.

To enable the new setting, use the user.js file or add the setting manually on the about:config page:

Next version of the theme won't be for another week, The sidebar and any potential bugs from this new patch should be ironed out by then.
