Good morning everyone,

I'm currently using this CSS code to manage the opening and closing of a **docked sidebar** that handles the navigation menu.

```python
.docked-view-left {
	width: auto !important
}

.psc-navReduced {
	width: 55px;
	transition: width 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.psc-navExpanded { 
	width: 300px;
	transition: width 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

```

and these are the code that I type on the view. I create also a custom to know the status of the docked so to manage some aesthetic changes.

**OnMouseEnter**

```python
	self.props.style.classes = 'navExpanded'
	self.view.custom.docked_status = True

```

**OnMouseLeave**

```python
	self.props.style.classes = 'navReduced'
	self.view.custom.docked_status = False

```

I have two questions for you:

1. If I wanted to manage, at the user settings level, the option to make it always visible or not, would it be enough to handle the property of the `self.props.style.classes` class?
2. One aspect I don't like (and it's a bit hard to explain in words) is that sometimes when the mouse stops at a specific point, the docked sidebar starts opening and closing continuously, as if it's in a loop. After trying other docked elements around the web, it seems almost as if the open/close action is too instantaneous. I'm wondering if it's possible to add a slight delay to the class modification.

Thanks for your help, and have a good day!
