if the goal is sidebar thin-ness it can be collapsible, or be composed of icons that show text when you hover over them
or a user can even be given option of menu on side or bottom
i run 16:9 wide screen so i would choose side menu
mike could simply choose to run menu on bottom

Finding meaningful icons for all the items in the sidebar is almost impossibile. A collapsible version is a good solution for small screens; on desktop it could be just a narrow bar that opens when the mouse overlaps, on a touch screens it would be necessary to add a little button to make the UI element evident.

Arent't you running it full screen, right?
