This seems to work well, reopen if more changes are needed.

So we're not going to switch the cursor to an e-resize when it's collapsed?
I think if you're going to go that route with the cursor, it should toggle appropriately. Especially since a w-resize cursor doesn't make sense to re-expand the menu.

I don't think the w-resize cursor is appropriate here. The double-ended arrow indicates that something is resizable by dragging (for example the edge of a non-maximized window in MS Windows) and this isn't the case here.
The arrow that collapses/expands the side menu is a control and should have either the standard arrow cursor or a pointer cursor to indicate it can be clicked.
Since the fold/unfold toggle is between two links, the cursor wouldn't change when hovering over it if it's a hand. I think we can try w-resize (it looks like double-arrow, left/right). Also adding titles/tool-tips there will make them pop up and cover the menu underneath, quite annoying.
