They are optimized to use a as much of the little width that is available as possible, and if any of that width is used by a panel then parts of that site would be hidden horizontally, which means it would require horizontal scrolling to view (which is a major annoyance, especially with website).

it should be pondered to have both, a vertical and horizontal panel in exactly the width which leaves on the rest of the screen ideally an application space in the commonly for digital video content used format 16:9.

e pondered to get vertikal panels

Note: The panel being on the left is only based on personal preference, this is not part of the artwork proposal and as such won’t be default in Gutsy Gibbon.

It confused many people on the mailinglist too ;)

One observation … as a laptop user, screen real estate is essential for me, hence I use the smallscreen theme, with hidden tab bars. I wonder if the default theme should not take up less space, particularly in the status bar. Otherwise looking good, and looking forward to 7.10
