It's possible to auto-hide panels and/or to add buttons to hide them.
F11 is a common shortcut for most, if not all apps, where using the full
screen could be helpful.

I neither auto-hide, nor use panel buttons, but often use F11, since
this not only offers me the missing 32 pixel used by the panel, but
also those of the window boarders, title bar, menu bar and perhaps a
status bar. Actually I'm not missing the 32 pixel of the top panels,
but the much more pixel used by all that window things.
