Pin Auto-hide panels

[JeffHowden]

After checking out example layout6 and the AJAX feed viewer, I thought that adding a button to the auto-hide panels to be able to be pinned (essentially the same thing as clicking the >> button when hidden) would be a nice touch.

That's a good suggestion and I have added it to the list. Thanks.

I agree as well, that would be very useful for us.

Question: Is it possible to switch the actions of the controls so that the little >> would toggle the autohide and the bar would extend it pinned? If not, it would be great to be able to control that.

Someone has contributed some code which does something similar.

That allows the floating Region which has been slid into view to be pinned.

It's not the same as changing the region to expanded, because it leaves the Region overlaying the center Region, and does not resize the center Region. But it could be a start - it looks like neat code, and has well done CSS and button images.
