:::info Desktop Only
|
|
Sidebar customization is available only in goose Desktop.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
The sidebar is how you navigate between pages in goose Desktop: Home, Chat, Recipes, Apps, Scheduler, Extensions, and Settings. You can customize its appearance, position, and behavior to fit the way you work.
|
|
|
|
To access these settings:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the <PanelLeft className="inline" size={16} /> button in the top-left to open the sidebar
|
|
2. Click `Settings` in the sidebar
|
|
3. Click the `App` tab
|
|
4. Scroll to the **Navigation** section
|
|
|
|
## Style
|
|
|
|
Choose how the sidebar displays its items.
|
|
|
|
| Style | Description |
|
|
|-------|-------------|
|
|
| **Tile** (default) | Large icons with labels arranged in a grid. Good for quick visual scanning. |
|
|
| **List** | A compact, single-column list. Takes up less space and shows more items at once. |
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
In List style on smaller windows (under 700px wide), the sidebar automatically collapses to icons only.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
## Position
|
|
|
|
Move the sidebar to any edge of the window.
|
|
|
|
| Position | Description |
|
|
|----------|-------------|
|
|
| **Left** (default) | Vertical sidebar on the left side of the window |
|
|
| **Right** | Vertical sidebar on the right side of the window |
|
|
| **Top** | Horizontal bar along the top of the window |
|
|
| **Bottom** | Horizontal bar along the bottom of the window |
|
|
|
|
## Mode
|
|
|
|
Control what happens to your content when the sidebar is open.
|
|
|
|
| Mode | Description |
|
|
|------|-------------|
|
|
| **Push** (default) | The sidebar takes up space and your content shifts to make room. The sidebar stays visible while you work. |
|
|
| **Overlay** | The sidebar floats on top of your content without moving anything. Click outside or navigate to dismiss it. |
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
In Overlay mode, the Style and Position settings are not available. The sidebar always appears as a full-screen tile overlay.
