hi @joepavitt thanks for continuously adding improvements to dashboard 2.0 .. i finally got a chance to closely have a look! this has a solid design for future expansion which is great !!  
In regards to `Teleport` , is there a way to add content to the left hand side of the top bar instead of only to the right hand side? use case is an application logo ? is this planned ? , that is similar to "#app-bar-actions" ..  
it would be really nice to have control over the page title, custom application logo and favicon of app or perhaps an option to hide the topbar altogether .. i have a use case where I control navigation from the page as a single page dashboard

thank you!!

@nileio I've moved this post to it's own specific topic.

Happy to include - do you mean in place of the page title we currently have, but keeping the hamburger menu to open the sidebar?

Can you open a "Feature Request" here please: [Issues · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/issues)

Yes.. it would follow the same way as the `#app-bar-actions` , lets say we call it `#app-bar-title` and let the user control the content of that if desired. If `Teleport` is used then it simply takes precedence and is used instead of the default page title. Of course this would follow suit with the `Scope` being either Page or UI. This would mean that the user can include whichever they please as content which is typically would be a logo and app title.. however , this would hopefully mean we can use a variable for page title. Is there out of box constants which can be used in the template such as `PAGETITLE`, `APPNAME`,etc. ? sorry I may have not went that far into the docs..

In regards to the hamburger menu - I think it is a separate issue and would require some thoughts on how to allow user to control because it is related to navigation as a whole.. Ideally we can enable/disable the hamburger menu (which I believe automatically happens depending on the `style` option selected of the Sidebar but just choose a different icon if desired would be great.. thinking about navigation as a whole and looking at `vuetify` there are different options for navigation system which might be useful but I feel this is not a priority and might need a separate management from Node-RED altogether. I imagine having few options related to navigation actually such as changing the orientation of the navigation to make it top-bar instead of sidebar, or changing the location of the navigation to the right hand side of the screen ... which are all possible options with `vuetify` but I guess it is better that we think about navigation and hamburger menu options holistically on its own.. does that make sense ? happy to open feature requests - please let me know how you like me to proceed..
