Description
The top toolbar is permanently visible, consuming valuable screen space. Implement an auto-hide feature that hides the toolbar after a period of inactivity and shows it again when the mouse moves near the top of the screen.
Current Behavior
- Top toolbar is always visible
- Toolbar occupies screen space continuously
- No option to hide or minimize toolbar
Expected Behavior
- Toolbar automatically hides after 2 seconds of inactivity
- Toolbar reappears when mouse moves near the top edge of the screen
- Smooth fade/slide animation for hiding and showing
- Maintains full functionality when visible
Use Cases
- Maximize workspace: More screen real estate for files and applications
- Distraction-free mode: Cleaner interface for focused work
- Small screens: Especially beneficial for laptop and tablet users
Proposed Solution
Implement auto-hide behavior with:
- 2-second timeout before hiding
- Mouse proximity detection at top screen edge (e.g., top 50px)
- Smooth CSS transitions for show/hide animations
- Optional setting to toggle auto-hide on/off
Steps to Test
- Open Puter desktop
- Observe toolbar remains visible
- Leave mouse idle for 2+ seconds
- Toolbar should fade/slide out
- Move mouse near top of screen
- Toolbar should reappear
