Hi Stefan.

I'm happy to hear that you like LeftBar ( http://leftbar.tiddlyspot.com/ )
Unfortunately two things prevents me from developing this further: 
- the closing of TiddlySpot has left me in a bit of a vacuum. I don't know 
how to publish anything anymore. (In case you don't know; the old things, 
such as LeftBar, is still available there but new things cannot be 
added/edited).
- my professional work load is very heavy for at least another semester. (I 
just had a breather over the holidays but not enough to dig into anything).

I think that what you request would require a fundamentally different CSS 
than how LeftBar is currently designed. Currently, it does not intrude in 
the TW core layout more than merely changing the "Story Left position" and 
"Story Right" (that are intended to be user set), so LeftBar just "makes 
room" for itself by changing these values to a static value. For the size 
to adapt dynamically one would either have to calculate the new width based 
on content (which I don't think can be done) and use this calculated value 
as the "story left position" OR there would need to be a change how the 
story river flows out (like how it interacts with the right sidebar) so 
this is about redesigning (overwriting) the core css. Not at all 
impossible, maybe not even overly difficult, but it is a big enough task 
that I unfortunately cannot deal with it for quite some time.

BUT

Maybe you could use a more manual approach? I'm thinking that it should be 
possible to e.g put a e.g RangeWidget or RadioWidgets at top or bottom of 
the LeftBar to easily and dynamically (but manually) change the width 
value, i.e to change this value:

$:/plugins/TWaddle/LeftBar/Stylesheet!!width

or, perhaps it has to be the value that is put into Ctrlpanel > Appearance 
> ThemeTweaks > StoryRight which is created 
in $:/plugins/TWaddle/LeftBar/Toggle via some ActionSetfield widgets.
