[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1417362] Re: Reduce the size of the "retractable" block settings
A few strategies that I've considered: 1. Move these settings to the block layout section instead of having them in the block config. (i.e., next to the edit icon that opens the block config, we'd have some little icon to indicate that the block is collapsed/retractable) 2. Remove the "retractable" setting and only have the "automatically retracted" setting, the idea being that users are probably much more often interested in having a retracted block rather than a retractable block. But a scan of the data in a large client site found quite a few retractable but not automatically retracted blocks, so this probably isn't a good idea. 3. Consolidate the two checkboxes into one control with three states (off, retractable, automatically retracted). I've pushed a patch to achieve strategy #3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Because both of these settings have descriptions below them as well, they take up a fair bit of vertical space, even though they are seldom-used settings. I'd like to explore some ways to make these settings more compact so that they don't expand the config screen so much.
