Hi Matabele,
This is really nifty and looks as though it might offer a really useful way
to access things on a small screen!

On my small android phone (using AndTidWiki), I found that I needed to tap
the bottom of the TOC bar (not the double-angle buttton) to open the menu -
otherwise I wound up inadevertently opening one of the tiddlers at the top
of the menu (e.g., Widget Messaging in the Stack).  The menu fills my
screen, but I suspect that could be adjusted.
It might help to add the option of a separate "close" button for the menu,
since the mouseover effects don't work on (my) phone or tablet?  There is
currently a close button that does the job, but I think it's really the
hide-sidebar button in TopBarRight (which means that too long a tap will
obviously also close the right side-bar).
