Very good! Thanks! Wikisource needs lots of gadgets/tools, youe extension could be inspiring and very useful when there's any need to add lots of tools-links into SideBarMenu. We found to that sidebar menu is much more comfortable if it is fixed so that it doesn't scroll any more when scrolling long texts in edit mode.

By fixed do you mean the css style position: fixed; ?

Yes. An absolutely simple, but effective idea. Really all tools and buttons should have a position:fixed css attribute - particularly when proofreading into wikisource. Recently I registered too into Distributed Proofreaders, they have a specialyzed proofreading interface (while wikisource has in intelligent customization of a general wiki interface) and I saw that once more we rediscovered the wheel, giving to some tools the position:fixed attribute, just as DP does.

The extension can be customized to your needs by hooking into the .sidebar-menu-container css class.
setting this to include position: fixed; will get desired result.
Thank you, we did, but we wrapped the needed jQuery code into a gadget, so that users can set it as a personal preference. Our gadgets are growinig and growing in number and performance! :-)

Do you have a wiki where my extension is used? Would be interesting too see it in action in a production environment.
