Sidebar minimum width could be lower

Vlad

We further reduced the width of sidebar in the latest RC

SerViette

Still much wider than it needs to be. Is further reducing the width planned?

I hope remember vertical bar size when relaunch Orion.

And. I one idea.
normal use vertical bar as favicon only on width as ver.0.99-128.2.1RC

mouse cursor in vertical bar -> overlap wide vertical bar. Because I want to operate the tab more than the web page.
mouse cursor hover tab line -> overlap preview web page. Because It will be easier to check the tab. And If display all the number of open previews that have been resized to the number of vertical display dots on the display, there is a possibility that the preview will become a thumbnail if there are a large number of tabs.

Yes please a much slimmer width would be great

If there could be a third option perhaps, of a super slimmed down version like in Vivaldi.
And when you need to close a tab, you will need to click on it to make it an active tab and then a 'x' pops up in the middle of the favicon for you to click again to close it. See images below.

For some reason, when taking a screenshot, it doesnt capture the 'x' that displays when you you hover over the active tab favicon. But I hope what im trying to say is still clear.

When using Vertial Tabs you have an option to totally hide the sidebar, which hides the tab window, or show the sidebar, which takes up a lot of space. I would like a third option of just showing the tab icons, and when you hover over them the full sidebar would pop out..

This is a feature avliable in edge, allowing tabs to take up a fraction of the screen relastate that the full sidebar takes.

In the image you can see Orion sidebar vs the Edge tabs:

FOUR years later, and it looks like this is still a problem. Coming from Librewolf and Firefox, which both support a vertical tabs bar that is half the width of the one in Orion, this is important. Screen real estate matters. Surely this would only take a few minutes to implement a new minimum width parameter? I guess some additional UI changes may take longer since it is currently connected to UI elements at the top.

I'm inadvertently promoting orion in r/macapps with a recent performance comparison, but I'm wondering if I should add a caveat since development of top-15 voted basic functionality like this is and has been stagnant for years?

Mindstormer Yes, the vertical sidebar implementation in Orion is horrifible and I wish it would be the same as in Firefox/Brave/you name it. I still don't get why this won't get changed.

SerViette

With the recent Liquid Glass visual changes, now would be a great time to reduce the width of the sidebar.

As previously mentioned by another user, surely this is a very quick implementation.

If it because the close/full screen/minimize buttons are in the way? Something along these lines would be nice (this is a very crude rendering).

Marks

I really do not see how this can not be implemented quickly. Just let us shrink it down please.

SerViette

Can we get this?
