I'm not home so forgive me if I don't remember the
exact names of things. In the panel settings dialogue,
there's a little check box for hiding the panel,
that's what I meant. The panel shrinks down to a thin
line that expands when you mouse near it. In that same
dialogue there's a setting for layers and I set mine
to "top" so when I mouse near my hidden panel it
expands over everything else.
