Description

## Enhancement Summary

I'd like to be able to "maximize" all of the tabs that appear on the left side of the screen. My Projects, My Samples, My Presets, etc.

#### Justification

The icons only show up as icons until clicked, and I constantly find myself clicking through them to remember which is which. Having an option to have the titles always displayed would be useful.

#### Mockup

Current Design vs. Mockup

Thanks!! :smile:

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the left-side My Projects, My Samples, My Presets, instrument, and other tab UI, then trace how their collapsed or expanded state is controlled. Done means a setting can keep the tab titles visible consistently, matching the supplied mockup.
