but if you do care about dynamically resizing it, you'll need to use javascript, at least as far as I know. I wrote a script that does this, among other things. and thepante wrote a script that incidentally does this too, with its main feature being that it prevents the sidebar from unloading its content when you close it. so there isn't any loading screen in the sidebar, except for on initial startup. it also lets you resize the sidebar's height, I believe, making it more like a popup panel.
