My friend was complaining to me about the My Sidebar, so I think that I will add this bug. Therefore - for him ;-) - the sidebar should be able to be undocked from the browser window by right clicking on My Sidebar. Then you can drag it around, etc. When you bring it back to the window it catches on (like undocable toolbars for windows programs). He was complaining that he hates MSIE's toolbars, and that all the stuff on My Sidebar should be seperate. BTW - he loves NS 4.x (go figure). There is already a bug to make the My Sidebar be able to be loaded onto a web page, but no bug for this that I know of. BTW - I know you are going to mark it duplicate of something. So go ahead, make my day ;-)

dup of 38805 "my.sidebar - Allow sidebar to live in its own window" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38805 ***

vrfy dupe

No no no. I wrote this bug after I replied to that one. Obviously you can tell I do not view this as a duplicate if I did that. That bug has nothing to do with mine. He wanted a way to view all the Sidebar content on a web page. People wrote the summary incorrectly. Reopening. Wack me if I am misreading his bug.

confirming. not the same bug.

BTW: This is what Netscape implemented for AIM. But it is not in Mozilla.

i have a floating sidebar/component bar. bz had a semi current copy. unfortunately my computer is stuck in @home limbo. fwiw the archive is 4k

reassigning matt's old bugs.

Try this "Floating sidebar". http://www.cc-net.or.jp/~piro/xul/_floatingsidebar.html

I mailed who seems to be the author of the above implementation. It looks very good, suitable for inclusion, but I didn't try it myself. Neither did I try the following: <http://www.deskmod.com/?show=showskin&skin_id=11108>.

I tried the deskmod sidebar(Comment #12 URL). It is excellent. The author of it is Neil Rashbrook. He seems to be the project owner of XULmine. <http://xulmine.mozdev.org/>

SHIMODA 'Piro' Hiroshi who is the author of "Sidebar Window" made the patch. It incorporates his product into Mozilla.I attach this patch as a substitute for him.

It is a supplement. "Sidebar Window" is called "Floating sidebar".

Now "Sidebar window" by piro is here. http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_sidebar.en.html

Does bug 183333 depend on this?

no, unrelated

I am not sure if I agree because for the sidebar to be able to open up on left-screen hover, it needs to be removed from the window so that it can pop open above the web page's frame (just like the taskbar does in windows) and not interfere with the size of the web page, and also dissappear when you move the mouse away. I'll draw a picture of what I'm talking about in bug 183333 since I think I need to clarify what I'm asking for.

No activity (other than CC change and mass-transfer from Browser to Seamonkey later renamed M.A.Suite) since 2002. Anyone still interested in seeing this bug fixed? Anyone still willing to fix this bug? Please speak up if you are.
