Extension summary

Do you want to split your screen between documentation and source-code but too much of MSDN's real estate is dedicated to navigation? Do you find yourself wishing you could slide the navigation bar out of the way so that you can focus on content?

MSDN Resize is a simple extension that allows the user to reduce the size of the side navigation bar and return it to normal with a click of the mouse.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

By adding a divider bar between the sidebar and the primary content of the page, all you have to do is click on the divider and instantly your content goes from 66% to 85% of the window. Click again to restore the original dimensions.

Release Notes - 0.7 - This version is a temporary fix to account for the new MSDN theme chooser. The divider bar is now gray on all themes.

User reviews

Small, specific extension, but effective and helpful when trying to code and read MSDN pages on the same screen (running out of screen space is a legitimate issue).
