You bet. If you come up with something, please feel free to post the solution here when you're done ;-)

I certainly do understand. I had hoped it would be something that could be implemented quickly, but that's ok--I'll dig around and try to figure it out. Thanks again.

Hi there,

Sorry, but that goes a bit beyond the level of support I'm able to provide here in the forums. If it was something I knew off the top of my head I would gladly help, but if it requires a bit of research, testing and custom code then I have to refer you to the customization request form: http://themolitor.com/custom

Hope you understand.

Thanks!

Chris

I love, LOVE the sidebar on the B+M theme. Thank you--it's almost exactly what I had wanted when I was set out to redesign the site, and it made switching to your theme very easy as that was the primary effect I wanted and was going to try and code from scratch. Awesomeness :) My only "complaint" about the sidebar design is that the X icon in the top right corner largely disappears in a browser window that is logged into wp-admin, unless you turn off the wp-admin toolbar. But that's not even close to a significant issue overall.

I've made a couple minor tweaks to it (in a child theme), mostly to swap out the X for a ? icon instead. But there's one last tweak I'd like to make, and I honestly have no idea how to implement this one.

Right now, the only way for a user to close the sidebar is to click the icon in the top right sidebar triangle area thing. I would like to make it so that if they click there--or anywhere in the browser window outside of the sidebar--it'll close the sidebar. So if I have my sidebar open, and click back into my normal content area, I'd like that to have the same action as clicking the sidebar icon in the top right corner.

How could I implement this?
