+- Give the side panels one look. Every panel title now uses the command dock's
+  label type in a brighter colour, collapsed or open; a panel lights up with a
+  blue edge and an accent title on hover, as the dock does; and every collapse
+  button sits the same distance from its panel's edge (asturksever, #1466).
