I'm looking for a silica view or container object to realize an animated sidebar that partially oberlaps a page with a SilicaFlickable or SilicaListView. The IRC app is a good example:

I'll place my non sarcastic comment here instead @rgrnetalk, I couldn't careless what you think.

@jsommer - dissect the very app you use as an example for an idea on what you want.

Thanks for your recommendation for reverse engineering. Do you ad hoc know the location of the source? Is it hosted at GitHub?

@jsommer

The app is in Jolla Store, search 'irc'. I have no idea if it is on github or not.

My process is long-winded, admittedly. I use rpmrebuild to 'make' the RPM from the installed source and send to my PC for exploration. Then, I use UniversalFileExtractor (windows) to explore the RPM; https://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract , by doing it on your PC, saves squinting and trying to navigate it on your phone. I prefer to search myself, as many forum users either do not have the answers or do not care to answer.

@jsommer This should be the upstream source code repository for the IRC application: https://github.com/communi/communi-sailfish

Thanks so much for your help. The Drawer QML Type seems also very promising. I will try it out. https://sailfishos.org/develop/docs/silica/qml-sailfishsilica-sailfish-silica-drawer.html/
