Sporadically I click it instead of the logo. Is there a way to move this icon to the right side location, as it is already on mobile? On my discourse install, I would like the logo to be the only thing clickable that’s top left in the top nav bar.

You could toggle it on and then hide the hamburger with CSS, I suppose.

And of course all this matters only desktops. Because doing such thing to mobiles… well, it would be really effective way to be sure there is not any mobile users, ever 😏

I’ve mentioned before:

> Not sure I follow. Apologies. The screenshots on that [plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/left-side-hamburger-menu-on-mobile/164513) looks exactly the same as the new Discourse approach of splitting the icons far-left and far-right. However, I don’t want the menu toggle hamburger icon to be so close to the return-to-forum-home logo. I want to toggle on the sidebar and then use the forums normally without having the sidebar toggle icon in the hot-spot left logo location. Currently toggling the menu OFF - as devs have implemented it - adds no value or advantage beca…

…if the hamburger location on desktop also matched that of mobile that would really be my preference:

For websites, the top left location on desktop is a prime location for the logo and logos in general are often the most top-left clickable option. I don’t like the menu being right next to it, regardless of what side the column is on.

On mobile the hamburger is perfectly fine on the right side of top menu bar. I would imagine accidental clicks would be farrr more of a problem on mobile than on the desktop if they kept the desktop position there. 😏

The logo (home) is something I click far more often than the hamburger icon. The hamburger toggle for me, I never need to click it because I keep the column always open, but it does get the accidental click every so often being in such a priority/prime location; left of the logo.

Thank you. 🙏 I was able to solve this using CSS so that hamburger location on desktop is now identical to mobile:
