Position the tabrow differently

[#1]

Hello I come across a really nice dashboard online (see below).  Could anyone let me know how they've managed to move the tabrow from the top to the left hand side? 

Thank you!

Well you already have the "buttons" - the icons (text boxes) down the LHS will have an action to set a state variable, and a second one to activate a sheet (which will have the same linked objects on its LHS).

The colour is set by the state variable - use this as the background for the vertical bar:

=pick(vState, <colr#1>, <colr#2>, ...)

Where <colr#1> is an expression returning colour (eg white(), lightred(), rgb(150,100,60))

Thanks Jonathan,

Could you explain a bit further, what is vState?  I understand the alternate state function, but I don't quite get the code that you have written.

Many thanks
