Image showing the space between the launcher and panel

I have some improvements i'd like to suggest for the floating panel. (if i have
this in the wrong place please let me know)

When a window is maximized the idea of the panel filling the space around it is
nice but it uses way too much space. It would be nice to see the panel go to
the same place and size as if it was not a floating panel (if that makes sense)
as opposed to just coloring the space around it. This ensures that the panel is
not using/wasting space on the screen when an app is fullscreen and also
ensures that the panel still looks how it is expected to look. 

It would also look much better if things like the calendar, application
launcher and status and notification windows were to touch and align themselves
with the panel when they are opened. Hence making them floating as well (so the
application launcher for example would be in contact with the top of the panel
and there would be a space between the launcher and screen edge like with
panel. (I have attached an image so you can see the space i am talking about)

These are just my initial thoughts an opinions really but i think it would
really help integrate the floating panel and make it look like it fits in
better.
