This simple app adds a handle to the header and navigation panels.
That handle allows to slide the panels in and out of view.
This helps to gain valuable space on small displays.
The app is kept extremely simple. No configuration section required, all is
integrated right at your finger tip. Check the CONFIGURATION file.
Just activate and use it.

The strategy implemented in this app is somewhat of an experiment. All my apps
are motivated by my desire to learn new skills in modern web technology.
The basic layout of the ownCloud web UI has slightly improved with version 5. 
This means that animations as done by this app can be implemented more or less 
without having to think about app specific issues (as with my first experiments 
based on OC-4.5). This is why I dared to release the app now, since most apps 
actually seem to behave nice. However there are always exception... Reason is 
that the core framework and especially some apps use absolute positioning and 
width/height settings on widgets computed on scripting level. Overruling those 
comutations in an intelligent, non disruptive way is not that easy when you 
want to keep things simple. So a few words on the strategy implemented here. 
I hope this enables others to contribute to this experiement, especially to 
extend it by rules required by additional apps:
The app is loaded like any other app, however it does not register any settings,
preferences or index page inside the ownCloud framework. Instead some simple
scripts are added to each view in the web UI: a small script (fluxx.js)
initializing the features by adding the handle and dong a few simple
preparations for its usage. And some small css style definitions. The first
style file (fluxx.css) styles the handle itself, the second one (dynamic.css)
defines rules required when sliding the navigation area in or out. This second
file is where additional rules required by apps can be added (the app internally
define a 'mode' for each app). During the slide animation a third css style file
is temporarily added (transition.css). It takes care of a smooth transition, but
is used only temporarily so that it does not interfere with any transition rules
defined by the app or the ownCloud core itself. The main hook to attach rules 
and transitions to are global css classes specified for the documents html node. 
The files carry examples and comments for this, I hope this explains the strategy.
