OmniSidebar Description

Gain control over your sidebar

This add-on provides a few options to make the sidebar more accessible and customize it.

Main features:

- Move the sidebar to the left or to the right of the screen

- Save toolbox space by keeping sidebar toobar buttons in the sidebar itself and toggling it with a single OmniSidebar button.
--This button is updated accordingly to warn you when you have new feeds (Feed Sidebar) or changed webpages (Update Scanner) if those buttons are in the sidebar toolbar
-- You have to drag the toolbar buttons you want to the SideToolbar in the customize dialog as it doesn't include any buttons by default, just like you would to any other toolbar.

- Clicking the sidebar title provides a menu to choose a sidebar to open.

- Twin Sidebar on the opposite side of the main one.
-- You can enable it in the OmniSidebar options dialog.
-- Only the toolbar buttons placed in the twin sidebar toolbar (and of course the twin sidebar button itself) will open pages in the twin sidebar. Note that you can't open the same page on both sidebars as it would become unstable.

- Undock the sidebar from the browser window and show it above the webpage. You have three undock modes:
-- Auto-hide to the side: move the cursor to the edge of the page to show it.
-- Auto-close when it loses focus, e.g. when you click somewhere on the webpage or the location bar.
-- Only close on command: it will neither auto-hide or auto-close, it will stay opened until you close it, just like it would behave when docked.


Other features:

- Sidebar keyboard shortcut now selectable from a short list of shortcuts available.

- Glass style for all sidebars.

- OmniSidebar options dialog can be accessed by right-clicking any of the OmniSidebar toolbar buttons or anywhere on the sidebar header (title, toolbar buttons, sidebar close button, etc.). Also accessible from the Add-ons Manager window.

- Includes toolbar buttons for opening the add-ons manager and Stylish (if installed) in the sidebar, you'll have to access the customize dialog to drag them where you want them, just like you would any other toolbar button.

- Hide the sidebar's current page name and close button.

- Change the SideToolbar icons to either firefox themed icons or color icons. Default option makes no changes to icons. (Windows and Mac only; I made this for the sake of uniformity between the new FF4 icon styles and the other add-ons color icons and Linux already only has color icons).

- Always open in the sidebar options, when checked, will make it so every menu item and keyboard shortcuts open the specified page in the sidebar as the default action.
-- Note that if Download Manager Tweak is enabled it overrides OmniSidebar's settings, so if you want to open the Downloads page in the sidebar through the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + J) you have to set it as so in DMT's preferences.
-- At least for now, this setting is relative only to the main sidebar.

- (For extension/theme developers) This extension adds an "insidebar" class (if it doesn't have one already) to whatever page is opened in the sidebar for easier customization.
