Not quite feeling this myself or maybe I am not understanding as I don't quite get the purpose or the point that is referred to , Personally I have no issues as things are and I have plenty of browser space etc, things seem in proportion to me, even room for new stuff on the Gui in my opinion. Maybe you could explain in more detail so I can understand why ?, no Offence intended
if it helps then its all good , but if its just a quirk then I don't see the point in messing up what is already quite good.
Not sure about your screen real estate but for me I have used a 15" and a 17" laptop and the 15" is still great to use, do you have a much smaller screen ?
don't take me the wrong way on all this not trying to be picky just a Little confused
