[user/theme] - [smoothsailing] - [multi-level tags in sidebar]

[kunzite1]

this code is a quick'n'dirty conversion of s2flexisquared's s2flexisquares multi-level tags in sidebar.
the following set commands should be added to your user layer and replace any that are currently in there.
set layout_sidebox_profile_visibility = "1";
set layout_sidebox_latestmonth_visibility = "2";
set layout_sidebox_links_visibility = "3";
set layout_sidebox_summary_visibility = "4";
set layout_sidebox_multisearch_visibility = "5";
set layout_sidebox_freetext_2_visibility = "6";
set layout_sidebox_tags_visibility = "hide";the following function overrides should be placed into a theme layer. if you are using one of the system-provided theme layers, you'll need to move those set commands for the colors into your user layer, create a new theme layer, place this code into it, and attach the new theme layer to your style.
