Have Admin auto hide on any click that loads a new page?

I've had this request as well from several users. There's not really much logic in the fact that the menu stays open after you've made your choice

As long as it's optional it makes sense.

Will this be added to Admin eventually ? It's a great feature to add. The patch is too confusing for those who don't read code :))

Works as advertised.

It's a bit jerky though, as it can be seen on the page load and then hides (on document ready I guess). With this functionality I'd expect it not to display at all. An alternative might be to hide it with the same effect as if you hit the X button.

Works and no jolting

Thanks for all the hard work everyone, I'll be hitting the admin issue queue soon (after a few others : ) but I plan on reviewing this patch and getting this functionality in one way or another.

I got it working, works perfectly very nice.

Thinking this through, a suggestion would be a "thumb tack" button, just below the X. So you can pin/unpin the admin pane without visiting its administration screen.

Thanks, and sorry for the delay: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=400862
