It's already an auto-hide widget. Without going into technicalities,
the top, bottom, and sidebars are just displayed alongside the central
canvas, so opacity can't be used here.

I fixed up the old code which keeps the canvas steady when the left or
top bars hide, so you don't get the huge distraction of the canvas
moving position on screen when the automated hide event happens. It
had broken under GTK3 due to some internal changes in the way offsets
are calculated.

Sure; they should all get out of the way sensibly.

You can turn off autohide globally, and when drawing with the pen down
autohide doesn't happen.

Tab shows and hides the UI still, but differently. It toggles whether
autohide is enabled, and when you turn it off, all the UI reappears.
Turning it on makes it all go away.

I'm trying to figure out whether/how different bits of the UI could be
turned off permanently. I'm considering

The sidebars and floating windows are really fundamental to the way
brush palettes and colour choosers are presented, so they can't just
be turned off (besides, if you don't want one of these tool tabs it
can just be closed individually). But with those options maybe things
will be more stable.
