Upshrink header out from menu

[emanuele45]

I think the expand/collapse icon doesn't fit at all in the menu, especially now that doesn't hide anything fundamental (like the search and the unread links it did in a previous life).

A nice way I've seen around is to have an "x" to just "close" something (it may be the header, it may be users' signatures for example) and keep the option to show them only in the profile page (look&layout).

yep, upshink is superfluous, Not sure if that X will be useful, will probably cause more support questions because people don't know how to get that hidden area back.

A small demo, I'll push the code later.
The "x":


visible only on hovering the area.

The warning:

Well, someone should rephrase it in case we will use that solution. 😛

Not to be a pain in the arse 😇 but how is this better that what we have? Granted the upshrink does not hide much, at least for us, but you can open/close it without moving to another page to find the option?

Don't be surprised If I'm missing something here since I've been looking at the upgrade script and now there is something wrong seriously with my brain.

Well, first more code! 🍪

Then, on a side-effect, move the upshrink out of the menu that really doesn't make much sense.
Of course a simple upshrink out of the menu would work the same, but complicate things is so much fun!! 😛

Other alternatives (well, the alignment is just a bit random :P).
On the left floated:

On the right position: absolute

Reopened assigning to 1.1

It may be a good idea to just remove the upshrink altogether.
