Essentially, we ran into a design issue whereby increasing the transparency of the panel looked bad when a window was maximized against it, impeding our ability to do so. Simultaneously, having an even slightly transparent panel with a window maximized against it results in an inconsistency between the opaque window and the transparent panel. With this, we get the aesthetic benefits of greater transparency when there isn't a window maximized against the panel, and the functional and consistency benefits of an opaque panel when there is a window maximized against the panel.
