Re: [Gimp-developer] maximize work area

Even if it's not a setting as such, it would be easy (from a UX 
perspective, probably less so from a coding perspective) to just have 
the tab section be collapsible.

As an example of how something like that might look, consider the 
sidebars in darktable.  They're generally useful, but you can collapse 
each one if you want more space, then you can bring it back when you 
need that functionality back.  Better utility than a checkbox hidden in 
Prefs, but still gives you the option to make it go away.

I've had the same desire when I'm working on a dark image, and I want to 
make everything bright go away.  If I have a light image open, then it 
becomes impossible to make it go away.
