can we make it "delay" a second to hide. code for that? actually it'd b better a smooth hide, but I don't think it's possible.

Fantastic stuff but i have just one issue:
I use stumble upon and whenever i mouse over its toolbar my bookmarks appear and subsequently the stumbleUpon toolbar drops down. it makes it really annoying if i want to hit the stumble bar because when i go to click it i have to move my mouse again after my bookmarks appear.Is there anything i can add to your code that will allow me to hover over the stumble toolbar without activating the bookmarks toolbar? is there maybe a way to put a slight delay on the bookmarks toolbar showing ? - i just need one extra second to hit the button i want in the stumbleupon toolbar
thanks,
_carbonMonoxide

Hi, Ben. I'm a delicious toolbar user. So I've just made a style to auto hide delicious toolbar from your code. Check it out:

Doesn't work if you try to select something in the context menu of a bookmark in inside a folder. The context menu simply vanishes before you can point to the menu item.
Take http://userstyles.org/styles/6599 instead. This works as expected.

Doesn't work with multi-row bookmarks properly in firefox 3.0 final. I created a fixed version of this for Firefox 3.0 Final.

Tab content jumping... it's BAD.
Also I know better way to keep space -- just move bookmarks to the left of main menu. Now drop or move some useless bookmarks to feet new width. Also possible to use iconization and autohiding of main menu, but it's bad too.
