Hi Yousuf,

Even better if you could contribute to a Windows 10 panel layout (with
Windows 7 being out of support now). :) One thing I notice at least
about the existing panel layouts is that the whisker menu height is
starting to get too small for 1080p and 4k screens. For example
Windows 10 start menu height is a minimum of 40 pixels on a 1080p
screen nowdays. Smaller than that is starting to get hard to
click/see.
