Hide the shoutbox button?

[••GamingBoards.net••]

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to add a feature / button to my forum so my members have the ability to hide the Shoutbox if they so please.

PS: I just found this: www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/436 , it seems to work as intended, however, with my theme there is a transparent black box where the shoutbox once was after it's been hidden, would it be possible to hide the entire shoutbox and sidebar leaving the space empty with only a button to un-hide visible? 

 Thanks,
