Windows 7 and Mac OS panel layouts

[Yousuf Philips]

Hi Eric,

Haven't used Windows 10 before, but looking at the screenshots, its quite
identical to window 7 layout, but also has buttons for cortana search and
task view, which isnt something available in Xubuntu, and also has an
application menu that is quite different to whisker, which has more of
windows 7 feel. Windows 7 also has a 40px panel height, so no difference
there, but presume when all the hidpi stuff is sorted out, it will also
look good on a 4k screen.
