New position of sidebar button when sidebar is shown.

SUMMARY
Currently the sidebar button is positioned on the main page instead of the sidebar itself, which feels like a UI issue. See the attachments for the proposed change.

Reproduced the issue in 25.08.2 (Flathub version).

That's where Kirigami places the button, which i don't see as a problem
Comment 4 Tamás Králl 2025-11-11 16:06:42 UTC
Can we instead mark this as a wishlist for Kirigami then, so more developers see it? I still think it is an unintuitive design choice. Don't get me wrong, I do agree that Alligator should use the components provided by Kirigami.
