2 panels waste the height needed for web browsing on 16/10 screens

Hello,


Most of the laptop screens have a 16/10 or 16/9 ratio. However, Ubuntu 
has a default setting with 2 horizontal panels (on top and bottom of the 
desktop).

This default desktop configuration decreases the space in height. 
However this vertical space is usefull for browsing the web on small 
16/10 laptop screens (11 to 13 inches).

Maybe only 1 panel which includes the windows bar (like the Microsoft 
Windows task bar) would be a good trade-off.


Regards.
