Remove Unnecessary Panels/Widgets

Does clicking the minimize button actually hurt?

It also does not make sense to have duplicate links to the same thing already accessible on the screen simply because they prefer it over another. It would make more sense to allow them to "choose" to use the option, rather than force them to hide it to begin with.

It will remain as it is. For those with small monitors, a solution was given a while back. Minimize it.

No, but that font you're using does.

Thats why i use it.

As for hiding the feature, I do agree that it seems a bit cluttered to have it open by default. Especially when it is meant to be an add-on with extra access to the same information, rather than one that completely replaces already-existing menu items.

Aha, it's not quite the best widget ever invented.

As already mentioned, it's just a copy/paste of what exists a few centimetres away. Most SMF boards, including ours have survived without the need for duplicate features for a good long while and it seems like a shame that a lesser add on should displace topic design and space unnecessarily. : )
