Start with views hidden?

[zachlim98]

I've been messing about with textual and trying to get two sidebars (left and right). However, it cramps up the middle text when the app first runs because the default for action_toggle is to start it with widget.visible. Is there anyway to set a view as False on app load?

When you create the view, you can do my_view.visible = False

Thanks for your reply Will! That's what I thought too but I couldn't figure out where to set that attribute. For instance, if I were to create a right side bar with
self.view.dock(self.rsidebar, edge="right", size=30, name="rsidebar") where would I set the view visibility? This is assuming self.rsidebar = WindowView(Panel("This is the sidebar at the right"))

Set the visibility on rsidebar before you dock it...

self.rsidebar.visible = False

I suppose visible can be added as a parameter to the constructor if it doesn't exist already?

I see - thanks so much for your help Will. Am loving this project and am excited to support it.
