Zenify the Expand Tab button

[Xerovoxx98]

I posted about this over on Reddit, but I believe it will likely be taken down as a feature request (which is completely fair)

I have been using Zen Browser off and on for a while now. There is only one feature that I think needs to be further Zenified, the Sidebar expansion button, I understand if this gets removed as a feature request, it is more of a Zen Rant than anything! And will also be posted over on the Github Repo as a feature request.

A few comments on this:

• To enable the sidebar expansion at all, you need to right click on the blank space, select "Customize Toolbar" and drag the "Expand Sidebar" button to the top where it can be easily accessed
• In order to have the button not move around, it needs to be on the right hand side, on the opposite side from where the tabs are by default
• Even if you place the button on the sidebar itself, it moves around when pressed
• If you have it on the left hand side, but not on the sidebar, it (and the entire browser toolbar) bounce around when expanding the sidebar (Not very Zen!!)
• This is obviously very Nitpicky. But do non-nitpicky people really use Zen Browser?!

Here is an example of how Firefox does this:

Here are the different examples of how Zen does this (The last one being the best, in my opinion):

Now, onto the actual feature request, as I believe it could be done:

• When icons are placed at the top left, on the side bar, when you have multiple sidebars enabled, have it so that they don't bounce up and down as the side bar is expanded (IE, a fixed height for expanded and non-expanded sidebar icons)
• Add an animation for expanding the sidebar, to suite Firefox's (or with a Zen flair)

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

The expand on hover mod does this, but for my workflow it's really annoying and buggy as hell, so I'd prefer to have something clickable. The solution that I thought of was to have the space where no tabs are filled be clickable to expand / retract the sidebar, but that can pose some issues obviously.

Would like to see something like this be implemented.
