The DockLayoutPanel is designed to take up the whole screen. You only have 
to define the size of the north/south/east/west panels (or don't give them 
a size for them to not appear). The center takes up the rest of the 
available space.

As for Polymer, look at the catalog for the elements you want to style. 
Here is paper-button for 
example: https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/paper-button
