I think Wingpanel having the ability to dodge maximized, or to integrate maximized window borders the way Unity used to. Plank has done this for years, as does Xfce, KDE, etc. It doesn't seem like a complex feature and many users would benefit. One reason is the irritation of moving my cursor to the upper corner of the screen and finding that I passed up the X button. Cursor gymnastics! That and having a window border beneath a panel is cosmetically unpleasing. Bringing back Wingpanel Slim would be a welcoming option as well. Thanks in advance.
