### Hiding the Sidebar for Kiosk / Wall Displays
148+
149+
For dedicated kiosk or wall‑mounted displays running Main UI, the persistent left menu/sidebar is often not desirable.
150+
To directly open a page without the sidebar visible, Main UI accepts the URL parameter `hideLeftPanel=true`.
151+
For example: `https://<openhab_host>/overview/?hideLeftPanel=true`.
152+
This hides the sidebar and allows the page to use the full width of the display, which is ideal for unattended devices such as Raspberry Pi systems running Chromium in kiosk mode where no manual interaction is possible.
153+
Because this behavior is controlled purely through the URL, normal desktop browsing sessions remain unaffected.
