Nope. No clicks involved with "Windows" Enhanced Secondary Windows (roll ups or ESWs).
Just move the mouse over them and they pop open, move the mouse away and they roll up.
Regardless, I would still have to move the mouse to the top of the window to get it to expand, right? And if I accidentally mouse off of the window, it collapses immediately, right? I don't see how that's better than an automatically fading transparent palette, where I can always (faintly) see the control I want to adjust and move directly to that part of the palette. And I think a gradual fade-away after I move the mouse back is more elegant and intuitive than an abrupt window collapse.
