Move collapsed menu button from the dockbar - liferay-6

Question

I need to hide dockbar for non logged in guests. I did that by creating custom theme that uses welcome-theme as a parent, and the following snippet:
#if($is_signed_in)
#dockbar()
#end
in theme's templates\portal_normal.vm.
This presents another problem - when page reorders to fit a mobile screen, menu collapses to a button in the dockbar which is hidden. I would love to have it collapse somewhere else, just that it isn't hidden - for example next to the small logo / site title, or as a first breadcrumbs item.
How to do it, or where to begin. I appreciate any help.

Menu collapses by default for phone and tablet viewports. You can create your own button to open/close collapsed menu in phone/tablet viewport. Check following simplified example:
Theme velocity template:
#if(!$is_signed_in)
<div id="mainNavigationToggle" class="btn btn-secondary">
<i class="icon-reorder"></i>
</div>
#end
Theme main.js:
AUI().ready(function (A) {
var navigationToggleBtn = A.one('#mainNavigationToggle'); // get our toggle button
var navigationUl = A.one(Liferay.Data.NAV_SELECTOR); // get default navigation ul element
if (navigationToggleBtn && navigationUl) { // do nothing when toggle button not present (user not signed in) or if navigation is not present
navigationToggleBtn.on( // otherwise assign simple function that'll toggle 'open' menu class on default navigation which will cause it to open, same for menu toggle button
'click',
function (event) {
navigationToggleBtn.toggleClass('open');
navigationUl.toggleClass('open');
}
);
}
}
);
Theme custom.css:
#mainNavigationToggle {
display: none; /* hide by default */
#include respond-to(phone, tablet) {
display: block; /* show only for phone and tablet viewports */
}
}
