One thing I'm running into is the need for a panel style that's always hidden until a button in another panel is clicked. Both macOS and Windows 10 have right screen edge sidebars that only appear when a button in one of the default panels is clicked. I like this quite a lot. It's much nicer than having the sidebar panel auto-hide and appear when the screen edge is touched with the cursor. since that leads to tons of accidental activations of a large panel that covers up a lot of the screen--including the window decoration buttons, which breaks your ability to fling the cursor into the top-right corner and click to quickly close a window.
