How to hide the left menue list on docs.flexsim

[ FlexSim 22.2.0 ]

I wonder how can I hide/close the list on the left on the Flexsim documentation page. when I open the page on my PC or small screen, the list of seizes a considerable part of my screen and makes it not easy to see the gifs and images without zooming in, which btw widening the list too.

Have you tried to make your window smaller, then it might be so that menu and content are placed above another.

menu active by 3 Barr menu icon.

menu inactive. You force it by a larger font size.

Edit: alternatively you can find in some browser a reader function.

Yes, @Joerg Vogel already tried that before. sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't.

@Joerg Vogel
I have to zoom in for at least 300% for the 3 bars icon to show. but if I decided to zoom out, the menu opens automatically again. It would be better if there's a permenant solution for fixing this 3 bar icon.

P.S: I use a 27 inch screen so imagine how big is the font size at 300% zoom :"D

@Mustafa Abdelnasser, Try Reader option of your browser. You have to switch on and off to get back to desktop view.

Among Edge, Firefox, and Chrome, only Firefox supported reader view for docs.flexism.com and the mode is not bad actually, the gifs and images are in order with the text.

@Mustafa Abdelnasser, there are tutorials to activate reading mode in chrome. It is a experimental feature.

You need write into address line chrome:flags, then you scroll to headline reading mode to be able to enable this feature.

What scaling and resolution is your display set to ? You seem to have only 950 pixel width in your browser at 100% page scaling and 100% display scale. On a decent 27 inch monitor you should have enough screen space to display everything correctly

Yes indeed @Jason Lightfoot, when I open the page on the 27-inch screen I have a good display of the documentation. However, my preferred setup is to have the fsm model on the screen and the documentation open on a beside 16-inch laptop. So if I shall correct myself, my inquiry is about opening the docs on a 16-in PC and being able to hide the menu list without zooming in too much for the 3 bar icon to show.
