Stop left menu from hiding

[CGB0]

When I resize the window width to less than 768 the left menu completely disappears. How can I stop this? When I have the window less than 1250 I remove the left menu text and only display icons. This is how I would like it to remain. I need some kind of menu on the left hand side.

I have tried playing around in the core.js file but did not find anything useful there.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Colin

Thank you for the quick response onokumus. It seems that it now goes to mini menu at 1250 pixels. Is there a way to control this?

I still want to be able to control when it goes from text and icon on left menu to icons only and the enhancement seems to stop that. I just don't want it ever to go to no menu at all.

The reason I want be able to control is to to allow support of various browsers on various hardware. They never throw anything out in my industry.

BTW, you have a fantastic product here. I don't know what I would do without it.

thanks,

Colin
