@odoo-sidebar-width: 180px;

Dears,

Why 180px ?

I believe it's enough to show the icons only. This will save space and in the same time will ease the navigation.

Also hints will show the application name, plz have a look at the attached screenshot below - which have max-width: 70px and overflow-y: hidden for .app-sidebar-panel class:

Do you have an example for hints?

[mohamedhagag]

yes it's in the previous screenshot - the word Accounting in the black bubble is a hint when we hover on the accounting icon (orange one).
here's another screenshot, I'm pointing to the Cyan Icon of purchase and it's showing the purchase text in the hint bubble.
