iOS: Maintain Interactivity in centerPanel with JASidePanels when Menu Is Open

Question

I am using JASidePanels in a universal iOS app. I make the sidebar menu visible whenever the user is in landscape mode on an iPad, but it seems that when the menu is open, the centerPanel's UI components become disabled. Tapping anywhere simply closes the menu, and then centerPanel interactivity resumes. But I want to keep the menu open and retain interactivity everywhere (similar to how Wunderlist does it).

Is this possible with JASidePanels? I have reviewed the class methods and don't see a related option, but I want to confirm before I rip it out and try a different menu system.

Thanks!

This method is the only place userInteractionEnabled is changed:

Use KVO to watch this property:

and whenever it changes, make sure all of these views have userInteractionEnabled = YES
