I am just wondering... can I collapse those panels on the side panel? What I mean here are Inspector, Play Panel, Mixer, etc. I know there are sections in Inspecter panel which you can expand/collapse individually, but sometimes I just want to collapse the whole panel for a moment.... and no, I don't want to close those panels entirely. I just want to collapse them temporarily.

P.S. I know I should start another issue for this, but I just want to mention briefly here: Does anyone here find that the controls in Play Panel and Mixer Panel a little too bulky? They seem to be taking more space than they need to be and that's one of the reasons why I want to collpase those panels sometimes.

There's not currently a minimze options, but it's not a bad idea. Meanwhile, do be aware that closing and reopening is just as easy: F8 for Inspector, F9 for palette, or whatever shortcuts you define in Edit / Preferences / Shortcuts.

I'd like this one too.
Such as in my Netbeans editor:

Pretty useful, if you want to reduce the Musescore windows, and want to win place in single-click action.
I'm doing this when e.g. transcribing pieces. I put on the left side my Transcribe! application and Musescore on the right side.

One click to get from:
T+M(panels).png
to
T+M(no panels).png

And one click to restore all the panels when one move back to full screen.
